    If it looks too good to be true, it is.

    I was once in the market for a Bose player and compatible headphones, but was shocked
    at the prices quoted. A contact I had when I was working is the Quality Officer for
    Trading Standards and he warned me about counterfeit Bose products being sold on the internet.
    His advice to avoid being " scammed" was to buy from Bose direct, that way you are
    guaranteed genuine products. Personally I would advise anyone to keep clear of the offer shown
    in the original post above. To confirm any suspicion I would ask the seller for the serial number
    shown on the headphones and check it out with Bose direct.

    The counterfeiters are quite good nowadays. They probably all have the same genuine serial number...

    If they can make headphones... they can probably make copies of credit cards too..

    Steer clear!

    I bought a Bose speaker in Bulgaria.
    I knew it wasn't Bose but it looked and sounded brilliant.
    For 30 Lev it was a bargain !
