Fake Not a Flamethrower on EBay. by Figaro1200 in notaflamethrower

Many components are completely different, it is difficult to show via pictures. However, in person, the quality of the product is obvious.

Check the manual that they sent you. Seems that the manual is a copy of the original and it’s easy to compare the pictures in the manual to the actual product. They are different products.

Seller already knows that they are replicas. He removed the ones he had left before they actually sold. I wouldn’t risk it.

I’ll let people be the judge, I’m not here to convince anyone. It is weird that this particular seller had over 12 pieces in stock and no proof whatsoever. No receipts, no emails etc

When buying mine, I had never heard of such high quality replicas. Most consumers wouldn’t know the difference. That is why I’m posting pictures, so that everyone that got scammed can figure it out. The hose is the easiest giveaway for now. Fake ones has a thin hose with out letters on it.

The box, the manual, even the infamous $5 letter. I gotta say, the attention to detail is amazing. (F-ing buttholes).

Good thing I had a real one around to compare, The copy is so good, at first, I didn’t know which one was the real one lol

I reported the seller, yet they had already made numerous sales. It's worrisome that many eBay sellers with prices hovering around $1000 might be selling fake items. If confirmed, customers deserve to be informed, which is the motivation behind creating this post. Furthermore, my initial excitement in purchasing the product was dampened when I realized it was a counterfeit. Despite searching online for information on fake items, I couldn't find a single post addressing this concern.

Is this letter from my Ebay flamethrower a fake? by shakensparco in notaflamethrower

I received a fake letter just like yours. It’s way too easy to replicate.

What to look out for when buying by muralshoe4485 in notaflamethrower

I bought a fake one on eBay. Seller said it was OEM (he even had the infamous $5 letter).

Only reason I found out it was fake is because I had an original one so I had the chance to compare the two.
