Yes I noticed that the "E" was missing, if you didnt know the correct spelling you could be fooled until you got down to the sellers address!!!!!
Ooooh, sneaky buggers!
I'm not sure if it's the same company as the one I got mine from back in 2011. I know the guy moved to Honk Kong and changed names and actually, the images of some of the things he's listing look the same, but I wrote about it here: http://www.larsandingrid.co.uk/forum...ghlight=fordomQuote:

Maybe though the very fact that it does say "Fordom" and not "Foredom" means that it's not purporting to be anything other than a copy but it's not illegal to sell it because the brand name is different.
This seller used to be based in the Middle East, and sold a lot of good value but genuine stuff. Most of what he has now (since moving to Hong Kong) seems to be Chinese copies of big brand equipment. The Chinese sellers have no qualms at all about putting 'real' names on things - in fact they seem to be very proud of their fakes.
Yes, a Chinese acquaintance of mine (now returned to her country of origin) sold fake Louis Vuitton stuff on Ebay for a while from a UK address. She seemed genuinely miffed when her activities were clamped down on.Quote:
