Recently, the Huangtang Police Station of the Danyang Public Security Bureau successfully detected a case of selling counterfeit registered trademarks. One oil pump was seized on the spot, and various types of counterfeit lubricants and refined oil products of Great Wall, Mobil, Shell, Kunlun and other brands were seized on the spot. There are more than 500 barrels, more than 100 empty barrels waiting to be filled and several counterfeit trademarks. The amount involved is millions of yuan.

In June 2020, the Qingpu police in Shanghai successfully cracked a case of selling goods with counterfeit registered trademarks and arrested more than ten members of the criminal gang, involving more than 10 million yuan. After investigation, Pan and his wife Chen have rented sites in many places in the district as processing sites and warehouses since the beginning of 2019. After purchasing lubricating oil raw materials and packaging materials from Jiangsu Province, Zhejiang Province and other places, they hired people to sell the lubricating oil. It is filled into finished cans of well-known brands at home and abroad, and then sold to more than 10 provinces and cities across the country through offline and social software channels.

On May 25, the Dazehu Market Supervision Office in Wangcheng District, Changsha City received a call from consumers complaining about fake engine oil, saying that there was a large amount of fake engine oil in a warehouse in Hetang Yuese Community, seriously infringing on consumer rights. Subsequently, the Dazehu Market Supervision Office and the Dazehu Subdistrict Office sent law enforcement officers to an oil storage warehouse in Hetang Yuese Community to conduct law enforcement inspections. In two warehouses, law enforcement officers discovered that large amounts of lubricants packaged under the brands Mobil, Shell, and Castrol were stored.

For profit, motor oil and tire counterfeiting activities are still rampant despite repeated crackdowns.

20 million extra-large tire counterfeiting case

In 2019, Zhongce Rubber cooperated with the public security organs to investigate and deal with a major tire counterfeiting case, involving Zhongce’s Chaoyang Tire, Weishi Tire, and Good Luck Tire The four major brands of Hearden Tire, as well as Qianjin, Maxima, Zhengxin and other brands, preliminary verification estimates that there are more than 20,000 counterfeit tires, with a cumulative estimated case value of more than 20 million.

This tire counterfeiting den is located in Yuanzhou Town, Boluo County, Huizhou City, Guangdong Province, about 3 kilometers away from the local tire market. The counterfeit tires produced are basically sold through e-commerce platforms such as Taobao, Pinduoduo, and WeChat. .

Fake tires are dazzling

Two manufacturers of the same tire: truck and bus tires are the same tire, but two tire manufacturers. Can anyone tell me whether this tire is from Zhongce or Hengfeng?

Two specifications of the same tire: There are actually two versions of the tire size on the sidewall of the passenger car tire. One side is marked with the specification 225/55R17, and the other side is marked with the specification 215/55R17. There are two sizes of the same tire. It’s so wrong!

Are there too many fakes or are people too greedy?

In the tire industry, it’s not that there are too many fakes, but that people are too greedy. Customers are always blindly pursuing high quality and low price. In fact, there is no such thing as high quality and low price in the world. It is just a psychological comfort for consumers. Get what you pay for is the kingly rule.

Customers are too greedy. It’s still the same story. Someone wanted to buy a tire, and he got three quotes: an acquaintance quoted 900, a close friend quoted 800, and a stranger quoted 500! As a result, he chose the stranger who quoted 500! Little did he know that the acquaintance only earned 100 yuan and his close friend earned nothing; the stranger who quoted 500 yuan earned 300 yuan! Because the stranger sells fake tires, he will not be responsible for your life safety. When a problem occurs and you go to look for the stranger, he has already disappeared.

Fake engine oil can ruin your car, and fake tires can kill you. Nowadays, whether it is the engine oil industry or the tire industry, the prices of products have become quite transparent. If you still choose a product with a price lower than the market price at this time, then what you are buying is definitely a fake. Don’t always think about taking advantage when buying tires, you must choose formal channels!
