I've also never been suspicious of any item I've bought on Amazon and I buy almost everything there. Maybe I'm extremely naïve, or maybe other people are going out of their way to find suspicious items? I'm not really sure.



What kind of items are you buying? I've received counterfeits for super random items like pillow shams (completely different color and material than advertised) and light bulbs (burned out after just a few days of use). It's also a well-known fact that you should never buy beauty products on Amazon because almost all of them are counterfeits. They arrive with a totally different color/texture/smell to the original product and have been found to contain known carcinogens and even animal waste.
