So, my dear readers,
after a long while of being absent, I'm finally back. After my horrible experiences with SOL-I-D (I wonder if they still exist, but I'm sure in some way they do), I want to continue helping people to beware from scams and all those fake businesses located in China.
Next step, Moncler.
Moncler is a French luxury brand selling mainly down jackets and vests. They are extremely expensive, you can buy vests from $400 and jackets from $600 - as you see, you need to be Bill Gates or at least some other kind of millionaire. :)
Anyways, Chinese fakers are hitting on Moncler products ... and unfortunately, a lot of people seeking for an affordable Moncler jacket, trust these criminal fakers and often end up being disappointed and even poorer than before.
I want to give you a few hints how to make sure you are purchasing an authentic, original Moncler jacket.
Check the website!
Moncler is selling jackets only on its own homepage (www.moncler.com) as well as some other trustworthy resellers such as mytheresa.com, breuninger.com or loden-frey.com. If you are not quite sure whether you have found a homepage that is selling authentic Monclers, look for the registration information which is usually listed on the bottom of the website. If you can't find any registration or trading information, you can be absolutely sure that this is not a trustworthy homepage.
You don't know who you are talking to and with whom you are making business, so you also don't know who you need to take to court in case your Moncler doesn't arrive.
Poor spelling usually is also a sign for a probably not trustworthy homepage. Chinese fakers usually have trouble with proper French, English or German spelling. If you find a lot of grammar and spelling mistakes, do not buy!
As I've mentioned before, Moncler is a luxury brand. It's pretty much utopic that you will find a brand new Moncler jacket in a store for $189. You might think that this might be the bargain of your life, but either you end up with a cheap fake you don't really want to wear or you end up with nothing - but the Chinese fake company has your credit card details.
Don't pay big amounts of money by credit card, if there's nothing such as "Verified by Visa". These companies most likely will abuse your credit card information for their own goods - and you will end up with your bank account empty - for the worst case.
If you a looking for a Moncler on eBay, please make sure to ask the seller for a certilogo code. These codes are sewed to the Moncler labels inside the jackets and there is a code on it which makes your Moncler an unique, original one. On www.certilogo.com you can check whether your jacket is authentic or not. Every code only fits one jacket and if there's no code at all, be careful.
Jackets made before 2008 don't have a certilogo code in it, but also can be original. In this case, check for several signs.
How does the comic with the washing instructions look like? Are the colors bright or fady? The colors of this comic are supposed to be fady, kinda vintage-looking and a little bleached. If the colors are really bright, it might be a fake.
The Moncler Logo has to be on all the zippers. The Moncler Logo on the sleeve has to be stitched nicely and the letters are not to bold. If you have really bold letters, it might be a fake.
The Moncler Logo on the sleeve has to be attached to the sleeve. If it's simply printed on it, don't buy it. Moncler doens't print its Logos on the jackets.
The strip in the jacket which is above the Moncler label has to be blue and red only. There's no black color, no white color and no other color. Blue on the left, red on the right. End of story.
In the end, I want to list some Moncler homepages which obviously are fakes. Don't trust them.

This list is by far not complete. If you have found any other fake/scam Moncler website, post it in the comment box below. I will complete the list soon.
AND IN ADDITION: Worldwide, there is no such thing as a Moncler outlet. So don't believe what they are telling you.
