Buyer Beware: Counterfeit Captains of Crush® Grippers
by Randall J. Strossen, IronMind Enterprises, Inc. © 2018
IronMind received two inquiries today about the authenticity of “Captains of Crush” grippers just bought on Amazon from a seller called ljknlfd—both proved to be counterfeits.
These fakes are noticeably different from genuine Captains of Crush® grippers but at first glance, or if you are new to grippers, you might be fooled, so we urge you to be cautious. The fraudulent seller on Amazon is called ljknlfd so do not patronize them, and if you want to be certain that you are receiving genuine Captains of Crush® grippers, only buy from IronMind or one of our authorized resellers, either directly or via Amazon.
If you did buy one of these counterfeits from Amazon, we recommend that you return it to Amazon, explaining that it’s a counterfeit and requesting a refund, and also leave a review noting that this seller is listing counterfeit products.
