Fine by me, love infighting among liberal leftist entities.

Good. I’ve been scammed this way more than once, just to watch the crap burn out in a month. It’s plain fraud.

WARNING! Apple claims that a New York company is selling Apple accessory knock offs with Apple logos claiming they are actual real Apple products on Amazon. Apple discovered that 90% of the claimed genuine Apple accessories on Amazon are actually fakes and do not meet specifications and could be dangerous for your Apple products and perhaps even could cause fires. Apple is suing the company which is selling these knock offs, but is not including Amazon in the suit, apparently thinking Amazon is innocent in this scheme. I got one of the cables from this company. . . and it does not work as well as a regular Apple cable. I was thinking of taking it back to the local Apple Store. It came in what looked like the regular Apple box but inside it did not seem package the way I would expect. — PING!

Apple Accessories on Amazon may be FAKES
and Potentially DANGEROUS!

Even the genuine Apple cables fall apart after about 6 months. I’ve had better luck with Belkin cables.

A while back I ordered “genuine HP print cartridges” for my HP Laserjet from Amazon. What I got was three refills and only one real HP. So I believe it that they’re selling fakes.

I got hold of a counterfeit charger once too. If it is so cheap, that it seems to good to be true, it probably is. The cable itself was fine. It was the charger unit that did not work.

Sears stopped selling my refrigerator filter, so I ordered one on Amazon. It went bad after a week and started fizzing. I went back to Sears and ordered it online.
