I received a letter yesterday from the company that I purchased replicas of their products. They are suing me for 700k and seeking criminal charges, I possibly could be looking at 6months to 5 years in the federal pen my lawyer said today. Take this as a warning to all replica sellers, stop now before it's too late! Item's were seized is how they found me.

tried telling you to stop after the first two letters. my advice from my stint in 05 is to get a whole bunch of address written down before you go in so you can write to people, read, and work out (make sure to do legs too).

keep us posted, affects alot of us on here!
 
Get a lawyer, settle for 1% of what they are fining you for (700k seems a little high, i'm curious how they came up with that number) and tell them it won't happen again - and don't let it.

Before you contact them, Contact a copyright lawyer and ask them what the process is.

You must contact a lawyer immediately, don't put it off. If you do, they will definately press charges and you'll get in more shit.. if you don't and have the lawyer contact them the negotiation process will begin. Trust me, they don't want to spend the time and money to pursue formal charges, they just want to scare you and to get some money for your wrong doing.

Yes. Contact an attorney,one with a free consultation and be 100% completely honest with him.
Second, in my 9-5 I deal with alot of different attorneys both for and against.One thing I can say without hesitation is both sides will try and "scare" you into action. Thats how they make $310/hr.
 
loooooooooooooooooooool........... I remember feds knockin on my door once over something. But shit dude, shouldnt be selling fake stuff on ebay.

Sounds like you have experience in this. Thanks!
 
Im not sure I understand here...

You said you are being sued for buying replicas of their products?

Do you mean you are selling replicas of their products or buying them?

Please keep us updated
 
Ok. I might be able to get advice but not to sure but I only need 3 things.

1. Specifically what item is it that you are buying?
2.What method are you selling them by? (Ebay,commerce?)
3. Are you letting your customers know that it is a replica and not the real deal?

You can post on the thread or you can PM me.
 
As of this moment, I have been instructed to not say,what item or company. I wanted to warn people that this does happen and your not as safe as you may think.
 
Did you sell online? I so sorry! This shit sucks big time for you.

Please tell us what happens, I interested in results
