FCC says California website offered fake Samsung and BlackBerry phones

May 20, 2014 by adminficci News 0 comments

A California website has been selling fake phones that came with seemingly legitimate “FCC Identifiers,” but ones that were were not authorized by Samsung. An online retailer, Panaystem, marketed counterfeit versions of the “Galaxy S Duos” and “Galaxy Ace” and  the BlackBerry model 9790, according to the enforcement wing of the Federal Communications Commission.

 

In a Tuesday announcement, the FCC claimed the devices offered by the California website contain bogus FCC identifiers — unique numbers that device makers must use to show their products meet technical specifications.
