More on the "FAKE" post

My blog post from 4 December 2017, titled “FAKE!”, generated quite a lot of interest within my social media circle. As a result, I’ve decided to create a Google Photos album showing fake Motorola radios. If you are offered one of the radios shown here, it is probably fake and you should report the matter to the relevant authorities.

Here are some things you might want to do:

As mentioned in the previous post, in the EEA countries CE marking is required. Fake radios generally do not comply with the EU Radio Equipment Directive. You could report the matter to your local telecommunications regulator (see this post for a complete listing).
If you were sold these radios and are using them privately, you can bring this to the attention of the consumer protection authorities in your country.
If you were sold these radios and are using them for your business activities, you could lay a charge of fraud with the police. Especially if the goods was sold to you as genuine.
In many countries, companies are members of a professional body. You could also raise the matter with the professional body or industry association the seller is a member of.
If the goods are being offered on an online auction or shopping website, you could report the seller to the website operator.
At the very least, you could return the goods to the seller and demand a refund.

If you believe you have been presented with a fake Motorola radio, and would like me to include it in the above album, you can submit the details here or send me an email: wayne dot cwh050 at gmail dot com.
