There is a segment on tonight's 20/20 that will be about fake designer bags purchased over the internet, should have some info on spotting them, too.
Also covering those weight loss pills and other such things...it's called Promises Promises

Might be worth the watch.

I caught the part about the bags, although I missed the first couple of minutes. It was a pretty rudimentary expose... They bought 6 brand new 'authentic' purses off of 6 different websites for 1/10th or thereabouts of the price of what one would cost from a certified dealer and guess what... they were all fake. Well DUH. They then said you could buy a fake one for even less money on Canal street in NY than you could off the internet.

Well, if you can buy a fake one for less on canal street and 20/20 suggests that is the wiser buy, then why is it illegal to sell them online, except that you state they are authentic online. So is it okay to sell them online if you say they are fake? I guess so...

They then said that you could get a real one from a reputable vintage dealer if you don't mind a used version. So... what makes the vintage dealer reputable? They didn't say.
 
I liked the part where the guy suggested using the fake as a lunch bag.

Not exactly and Earth shaking expose, but I guess if you are internet purchase clueless, it may stop you from getting the shaft.

I saw the preview on Good Morning America... Pay 600 for a knock off..... I can get them for 40...
