Counterfeit Mecer products being sold on South Africa's Temu

Merchants on the Chinese e-commerce platform Temu listed counterfeit goods featuring several prominent South African brands, including items bearing the Mecer logo.

Four products came up when searching “Mecer” on Temu: a newsboy cap, a belt buckle, a T-shirt, and a collapsible canvas container. Mustek confirmed that the products were knock-offs.

I'm sure those items are flying off the shelves!

Better than Takealot who just leaves fraudulent products and sellers up for people to get scammed.

Even bigger warning - buying from Takealot:

• 

if I order a belt buckle from Temu, at least I get a belt buckle.

But Mecer is just someone else’s rebranded fake product to start with?

Temu = the everything mostly useless store

It has its niches

I used it to get some 3m USB mini B to usb-C cables so we can plug our Samson condenser microphones into smartphones

About 3 lifetimes ago my 1st "proper job" was at IC & the way some okes pronounced Mecer.

May bru, that's all I am saying

Likely made by the same people the Temu seller uses.

Better hope it doesn’t fry your USB port.

That explains it.

Impedance tests were consistent and the materials used were good. Better than a lighting cable at least.

 

[FiestaST]

That explains it.

May-sir is that you?

May-sir is that you?

There are people at Mustek that pronounce it that way. I’ve gotten so used to hearing it, I do it myself from time to time

You talking to me sir ?

Temu (Merchant from the east) is using the below definition to justify the use of Mercer:


Temu have been using the term mercer (merchant) for a very long time in the context of luxury textiles.

Mustek does not own / have a copyright on the word "mercer".
You can't own / copyright an existing English world.
Mustek probably has a trademark on "Mercer" in the context of computers.
This trademark does not extend to other areas such as food, fuel, healthcare, finance, education, clothing, etc.

Nothing to see here - plenty of fake Adidas World Cup branded clothing on sale at the street corner.

It’s Mecer, not Mercer.

Did the AI right this for you??

Because it’s not even remotely close to the topic at hand.
