While in Mumbai, I discovered that my Colgate paste was missing, may be my daughter in law forgot to pack; so I went to a shop in the hospital campus, where my brother was admitted; to buy a tube of Colgate total; I was given a tube that was certainly not Colgate, see picture; also the price was 50%; I was told they are giving special discounts.
[b]I am not surprised because our markets are full of such duplicate stuff,
they look almost same as the original stuff, only the spellings differ a little; many get cheated.
What about your place, were you ever cheated?
Well I have never been, I check the product, the expiry date etc before buying.
Please share your views and comment on this.[/b]
Thanks in advance.

I think they are all about the same anyway. And 50% off is a pretty good deal. I bet you will be glad to get home to normal. I sure would be.

Here the product is a cheat and cheap substitute ;Mumbai is as such an exploitative place where many shops cheat by making small 'overlooking', 'forgetful oversight' etc.This happens in big shops too where they tamper with change.This oversight can run into tens and hundred of rupees.

Fortunately,major establishments haven't done that to me.Networking businesses have done that to me because they're only after the money.

I think that there are a lot of rip-off products that are available to be purchased and the main reason that this happens is because people want to make money but don't have the drive to make a product of their own.
Around here, this is mostly something that you see when it comes to various fairs and carnivals that happen throughout the year. The majority of the rip-offs that you will see are of name brand fashion items, however, there are times that you will see personal care products as well.

People who do these things will seldom or never prosper in life or in business, believe me

we should be careful while buying things. many people around us try to cheat by doing things like this. the image you given here shows clearly that the tooth paste is duplicate. some people buy those duplicate things because they are getting for less money. they will suffer later by spending money to doctor. so we must be careful.
