Sadly that proves nothing. All it shows is that someone isn't doing their homework at best.

I'm not saying I don't agree. The problem is what you can prove. This is the U.S. where you have to have proof that someone intentionally sold fraudulent merchandise.

Another thing to consider is that they probably reused stock photos out of sheer laziness. It's no big thing for a guy like me to edit pages upon pages of updated listings. But I've no idea who their IT guy is or if he's even intelligent enough to understand that while Google Translate is a fairly reasonable setup, it's not infallible. You gotta use some brain power to make sense of some of the stuff that is being said. Especially the Reviews coming out of Northern Europe. I swear it's all about cut and paste these days. No form of editing other than spell check. doh.gif

hello everyone

Whilst I do not normally post here, as this is Spawne's site (as in support aka Lamptron USA)

I have prepared a written statement:

Whilst Lamptron appreciate competition in the form of companies such as Aerocool and Akasa, as it forces us to innovate, however we will not tolerate direct copying of our products erstwhile using inferior components. Our solicitor's are now looking in to the matter and will be seeking legal redress against G-vans and any stores that 'knowingly' stock their products.

Please remember that Lamptron products have been designed by the use of 'end-user' feedback. With this in mind we feel that the aforementioned company have not only stolen from us but from yourselves also.

Even tho I dont own any Lamptron/ G-vans products I do really like to see companies explaining/keeping us regular people in the loop.
Thumbs up to Lamptron thumb.gif
Hopefully this gets all sorted out soon!

While I don't agree with blatant copying of products, I can't really agree why you would take it out on the stores. They are just looking out for their business, as any company would. What would you do if a company came to you with the same product for much cheaper? You're going to look out for your bottom line and start pushing the cheaper product. It's just business.

I've never once had an issue with any of the stores listed in the OP, and will NOT stop buying products from them because Lamptron has a competitor selling knock offs. redface.gif

One problem with this is if the rumor of Performance-PCS saying they will no longer sell Lamptron but rather G-Vans, other stores may do the same. Take a look at FrozenCPU's stock of the FC5v2. It may just be coincidence, who knows. It's also possible that neither store is buying their product from Lamptron direct, rather using a global distributor (maybe even the same one) and got duped there.

Our choices of where to buy Lamptron products is already pretty limited. Having two vendors seemingly stop selling them for a cheap knockoff, and at the same price point, is bad for consumers.

Found something else too


Before working for Lamptron (long before) I reviewed some of their products the fc touch and nine. I own a review site also anyway if you look on the bottom right, you see a gold award from a Lamptron review we gave. G-Vans have used this award for their own use WITHOUT permission from my review site.
