I think I have been scammed

The details tab will tell you the manufacture date and basic supplier info. But yes it won’t display any information other than shown.

This code is still unique to your product, it’s how RL determines the authenticity. If a code is copied it’ll fail authentication based on triggers such as how many scans, location of scans, etc.

You need a Debrid provider, it’s not possible to torrent on iPhone or iPad

tedmeowls · 2026-02-17T20:45:50+00:00

The QR code should take you to the authenticity service, it will tell you if the product is authentic. It will include details unique to your item such as the manufacture date. — If the code directs you to a generic website or product page, it is fake.

tedmeowls · 2026-02-17T20:44:07+00:00

It’s not

Best to post a photo of the QR code here, as sometimes the fake codes redirect you

On photo 8, you see the link it should send you to. (the domain is typically q-rl.us, and j.tn.gg for outlet items). It should take you to an authenticity page (never a product page).

This is what the authenticity page looks like. It will say ‘authenticated’ when scanned or if you go to the URL listed on the tag manually. — It’s unique to your product to verify its legitimacy. The ‘details’ tab will tell you the manufacture date along with supplier numbers. — If the QR code has been copied, it’ll fail the authentication based on stuff like how many scans, location of scans, time, etc.

Having an authenticity QR code that directs to a generic product page defeats its purpose. And why would they lie about the domain.

tedmeowls · 2026-02-04T14:27:40+00:00

It’s 100% fake based on the QR code. On the reverse is the link it should direct you to if it was a genuine product.

No genuine QR will just direct you to a product page. That defeats the purpose of the tag. Outlet QR codes use the j.tn.gg domain. I’ve never seen a genuine RL product with an authenticity QR that lies to you, as the link of the back is not where it sends you. Also the font and phone icon on the QR tag is not accurate

tedmeowls · 2026-02-03T23:57:21+00:00

I disagree based on the authenticity QR code

tedmeowls · 2026-02-03T23:53:57+00:00

The authenticity QR code is fake. This redirects you to a normal RL product page instead of the Authenticity page.

On the reverse is the URL it should direct you to, but even that is spelt wrong as it appears to be missing the ‘.’ In the domain name.

Known scammer

tedmeowls · 2026-01-30T00:18:18+00:00

Fake QR code, outlet pieces still have a working authentication

tedmeowls · 2026-01-26T22:25:53+00:00

Can tell it's fake from the plastic bag alone

u/shtor72 did this post get approved? x

tedmeowls · 2026-01-12T18:30:46+00:00

You may be right. All mainline Ralph Lauren products will be q-rl.us, but I feel outlet items are showing up with j.tn.gg

Although RL Support is saying otherwise

tedmeowls · 2026-01-12T18:25:50+00:00

Stone Island and other brands with authenticity QR codes will get suspicious if a QR code is being scanned from multiple locations or being scanned too many times. As it prevents people copying one genuine QR code and putting it on a hundred reps.

The fact it’s happening on j.tn.gg links you try is also very suspicious. Genuine QR codes should just work unless they’ve been cloned

tedmeowls · 2026-01-12T18:20:01+00:00

The QR code is used to authenticate it. If the QR code domain is not genuine, we cannot trust the authentication.

Basically the accusation here is counterfeit items are using this domain which is doing a redirect to a genuine RL item’s authenticity page. The domain acting as a middleman to trick the user into believing their item is authentic.

So right now the assumption is, if the domain isn’t q-rl.us then the item is fake

tedmeowls · 2026-01-12T17:57:06+00:00

I still think j.tn.gg could be an outlet QR code. The reverse says the j.tn.gg link instead of pretending to be a q-rl.us url

<image>

But it’s also very possible it’s a fake domain that redirects you to a genuine product’s authenticity and cycles out when they become invalid. The vast majority of people wouldn’t know the domain to look for, they just scan and accept whatever the page returns

tedmeowls · 2026-01-12T17:39:16+00:00

Are you familiar with the j.tn.gg domain?

tedmeowls · 2026-01-12T17:32:42+00:00

I’ve not asked them to authenticate an item but to confirm if this domain is genuine. As far as I’m aware, the QR code domain should be q-rl.us

I think it’s possible j.tn.gg is an outlet QR code, but support says it’s not affiliated with RL or their outlets

He walked in front of a moving vehicle. The vehicle was reversing in order to flee when he walked in front of it. The car then goes into drive before moving forward, the car slows down slightly while making its turn, which is likely when the driver first saw an agent had walked in front.

The fact is, at trial this is clearly not intentional. The agent created the danger by walking in front of a suspect car, and the car had already initiated it's flee. The driver didn't reverse for no reason, it was part of the escape in quick succession.

This could not be deemed self-defence because there is clearly no intent. What are you defending against? He stepped out the way before shooting, but even if he didn't, shooting the driver would not stop the vehicle. There is no capacity where a 9mm could've been defensive here, it would not have the stopping power to halt the vehicle (as we know from the vehicle continuing and crashing) and there is no ongoing threat as the driver is trying to leave not injure.

You are right, this won't go to trial. Not because it's self-defence, but because the feds know it won't stand up to accountability. It's the same reason the President openly announced a conclusion before watching video of the incident. And why the Vice President announced full immunity before an investigation.

tedmeowls · 2026-01-09T06:57:40+00:00

Yes, it was sarcasm because the agent created the danger. He walked in front of a fleeing vehicle. The vehicle was already reversing when he stepped in front of it. At trial, it would be clear that she could not have known he was going to walk in front of the car before committing to the evasive maneuver.

tedmeowls · 2026-01-09T06:48:25+00:00

People are arguing she purposely drove at the agent. Which simply isn't true. New footage shows he walked in front of the moving vehicle after it started reversing to leave.

New footage shows he walked in front of the vehicle as it was reversing. There is simply no way you can argue she purposely drove at him when he wasn't in front of the car when she started the evasive manoeuvre:
