    Many people buy these and re sell online.

    Seen some poor sap buy a VX-6 for $1000 used, Thinking it was a good deal until he found out it was fake.

    More fake Leupolds out there than any other scope brand. Be careful buying from unknown sources.

    This website screams scam(which it is) but some places will pass them off as real with many 20% less than anywhere else. These are good fakes at first glance.

    One of my buddies (hunts at my camp all the time) is high up in the food chain at Shopify. Sent him the link as they are using his platform to sell them. Doubt he can do anything about it but can't hurt to let them know what his client is doing.

    They are copying so well that even Leupold warranty centres have to look real close. Apparently a big difference inside.

    So my buddy looked into it and they are also faking the Shopify part as well. They have been flagged and Shopify is doing whatever they can legally from their end to get them taken down.

    Nobody at shopify cares. There was a report in December that indicates about 25% of shopify sites are scams. One of easy-to-spot indicators of scams are the large Shopify logo.

    As long as the money flows they could care less. If something goes wrong they can point to the vendor shrug their shoulders and move on.

    Let's face it 85%-90% of us will see those prices, laugh and move on but there 10%-15% of people that will see that price and cannot move on. That is who the scammers are targeting and if they get 10% they are doing well. It is the same guy that cannot walk away from such a deal........Leupold Mark 8 scope for $115.00........so good it has to be true.

    LOL.......if these guys just put that effort into making their own products maybe they would be on to something.
