More XM Fakes Hitting the Market

[drbobguy]

Hey All,

Just thought I'd point out that there are more fakes hitting the market now. Be on the look out online on auction sites. Some of these have no branding, some have a misspelled branding, others have the actual branding. These are taken from a Russian-language forum:

And rightly so, as a matter of common courtesy can we please Stop.
I think the Hinderer Herd has been more than polite with "Hinting" that they really do not appreciate the fakes
Having attention drawn within their own Forum and as ardent supporters I think we should honor that.

Thanks Scott, I couldn't have said it better myself.

I for one, appreciate the heads up considering that I just purchased one. I am sure we can all agree its not good for their branding, but for some of newbies and those buying its good to know these sneaky dogs are selling these.

I only see value in this type of thread if it points out flaws the noob can use to not get snookerd. I see fake knives at gun shows all the time, most are comical but some are close enough to fool new buyers.
