Fake Britain Series 7 - Episode 2

[@Matticitt]

I hate scammers... but my god are people stupid. She bought a supposedly 900 pound mattress for 130 and thought it was real. When she found out she got scammed she called the scammer to return it and was surprised he hung up on her.

[@bottyboy2381]

agreed

[@chilli-iceolive-abode2447]

I bet she thought it was stolen and had no qualms buying it, so it's her own fault. Also who the fuck buys a mattress from someone who just turns up and knocks on your door 😂

U get what u pay for which idiots believe they getting a bargain from sombody knockin on the door lol can tell they have lived sheltered lives

It's one thing to fake a purse, it's entirely different to fake a safety harness or tourniquet. That's crossing a line.

[@FowlorTheRooster1990]

and its worse when they call it an accident when the kid was un supervised with a tool that is not made for kids and what makes it even worse a laser from a market stool that may not have any proof saying that they sell genuine lasers.

Who shines lasers at their eyes?! The mother is to be blamed! She was stupid to buy it and stupider not to tell him to not shine it in his or others' eyes! Great job MUM!🤨

Advice: when a salesman turns up at your doorstep, shut the door and walk away. We have stores, online shopping and letter boxes nowadays.

[@PainX187]

lol these ppl "i would have been a fool not to take it" quite obvious at that point what it is so many alarm bells should be going off just hearing the price

Also why was that shop that had all those fake goods in not shut down? When a shop has that many fake goods in it's obvious the people selling them know and don't care.

[@topchessmoments]

Fined 3.5k, but probably made more than that. These fines need to be 100% of their fraudulent revenue.

[@raibernal9374]

Uk customs officer should be more careful handling these kinds of products specifically coming from overseas country ........because counterfeit goods not only harm the economy of our country it's also more hazardous to our health.

[@SINTD_666]

My ex wife and I were the process of moving the last of her stuff out, and we were in the front garden when a white van pulled up, the driver went across the road, knocked on the door of an empty house then came over to us. “I have a delivery for ....(he gave the correct name for the previous tenant of the house). Do you know when they’ll be back” I told him they’re not coming back, they did a moonlight exit one night when a series of debt collectors started knocking on the door. He said he had a double and a single mattress for them. It was on credit and had been part paid for already, he asked if we wanted to purchase either of them. I was suspicious and was about to tell him to sod off. My ex wife on the other hand needed a mattress. He made a call and said that his boss said to bring the order back. He explained that the original buyer had done a runner and was probably unlikely to pay the rest of the money. He said to my ex, he could sell it for £250. He didn’t tell us what brand it was, he didn’t have any idea how much the mattress was supposed to cost, he just said it was a double mattress and seemed ok. My wife went to the ATM down the road and got the money out, the white van man even helped my ex take her stuff to her house in HIS van because he was taking her new mattress to her new home. When I checked out the company later, they were a furniture warehouse that operated on the internet. Apparently the mattress was pretty good, clearly a cheaper one, but it wasn’t sold as anything other than a cheap mattress. She had it for about 5 years before upgrading to a larger bed. She was really lucky

"getting the sale is more important than telling the truth" Well duh.

[@leahblxck]

Think he meant that they don’t have regulation on the sound level but did make me giggle

[@Darktemplar1305]

@@leahblxck tbh there are almost no headphones with seperate volume control since hearing protection is built into cellphones and mp3 players since 2008 or so ^^

[@leahblxck]

Darktemplar1305 nah but there is still control by the headphones, for example the quality and things you might not notice can play a toll on your ears over time, it’s not always as noticeable as louder sound or whatever but that can be the case as although the device can regulate to a degree it’s not the be all and end all and you see that from testing a range of headphones, I agree it’s not as horrific as they may make out like it’s not gonna make you deaf after using them or anything but it will cause some damage

Question, how can someone shine a laser in a pilots eye when he is at 10.000 foot in the air, a planes cockpit usually offers "horizon" visibility that means no direct ground sight.

[@Jamal-Ahmed786]

i remember buying a matress from a van. Because I knew they were fake I managed to bargain one for 30 pound. As for the lasers, so what if they are powerful. Regardless of whether they are powerful of not, just because some people misuse them, why should I lose my liberty to a good powerful laser.

I think there should be a certification for owning and/or using any sort of laser. I bought some DMX laser fixtures to use in my workplace, and I've done the appropriate research for their health and safety considerations and I invested in a pair of industry-standard goggles that are rated for their colour and power, just in case something happens while I'm working on them. Along comes my colleague whom which I informed of what precautions he must take when working on one to stay safe. So he disregards my warnings and shines it into his eyes causing some long-term damage (luckily not permanent). The research and preparations I have done beforehand are not required when buying or operating a DMX laser, with the only safety feature on these being a key-operated switch to power them on. Won't help if retards are using them.

[@233kosta]

I think there should be certification for people who can use their brains full stop, allowing them to disregard rules put in place to protect the stupid. For example no thinking adult would take a 5W laser and shine it in their eyes or even handle it without looking into the appropriate precautions. Your colleague sounds like he belongs on the Darwin Awards hall of fame...

Because they know people want stronger laser pens but it's illegal so they fake the labelling

[@OddMobileWatcher]

@@musicforfun5181 Yeah, that's why I dont understand the situation. They can't legally advert this, and it's not like people would know these are stronger than usual, and most likely, the only way you discovered this is stronger than usual is by injuring yourself. So making the laser stronger is pointless, they should just make a weakass laser that they can get a 1000% markup on and advert it as just barely the legal ammount.
