Description
My younger brother was attempting to purchase Jordans for our other brother and clicked on this fake website. It was set up to look just like the Jordan website with official logos and everything. The site name was changed by one letter and all jordan branding was use don the website. We cancelled the payment as the order showed up from what would likely be a chinese site at Didi Network Inc on his payment versus Jordan. He's only 18, so this was the first time this happened. We didn't think shoes would arrive, but they did and they were clearly fakes due to multiple reasons. We had an authenticator look at them as we were going to give money back if they were real, but multiple sources told us they were fake and even showed us the real shoe. Clear things like color in the sneakers, type of tread, interior of box and size of the box. Maybe most importantly the company is now threatening my brother via the email provided saying that they will report him to the police as he cancelled the transaction. This is a company selling fake product, impersonating the brand and the website was quite convincing. They were using Google ads to traffic people to their website and surely he's not the only one who was impacted. Please let me know how we should handle.
