Come on, face it, what woman hasn’t wanted to compete with her well-heeled boss by buying a knock-off Prada®, Coach® or Louis-Vuitton® bag- if only for the shock value alone on Monday morning! But the fact is, by purchasing “fabulous fakes” you are just supporting the rampant counterfeit industry in Asia and other foreign countries. Kessler International, the renowned forensic accounting firm, has a high success rate of catching and preventing future “outbreaks” of this all too socially-acceptable crime. Maybe it would lose some of its luster if called by its numerous “real” names: Counterfeiting, Trademark Infringement, Royalty Violation…ripoffs? Remember, it is not only perpetuating fraud to purchase these items, but also supports corrupt business practices abroad and in the United States. Why “fake it” with a shoddy designer knock-off? Set your own trend by being an original!
