    Counterfeit Tasco on fleabay

    I recently bought a Tasco branded 3-9X50 mil-dot scope on fleabay very cheap (for a Tasco).
    It came in a mickey-mouse box with instructions that were written in very poor English, there was no evidence on the leaflet to suggest that it came from the Tasco factory - address, phone number etc.
    I've now found out that quite a few other makes of scopes are being counterfeited in the far east.
    Luckily my total outlay was only £32, the buyer protection department at fleabay was totally useless so I have decided to put my loss down to experience.
    BUYERS BEWARE!!!

    A genuine Tasco 2.5-10x42 milldot varmint can be had for £69 from JSR, so £32 for a 3-9x50 is not all that unrealistic, especially from an internet shop with no overheads etc
