Nike taking me to court! (Hewitsons Solicitors)

CHR15

He didn't make a school boy error once or twice, he made it about A HUNDRED TIMES!!

The first one or two could be called naive errors, the rest are deliberate acts of scamming people out of money by deliberately selling them fake goods.


I also think it reasonable to expect a University student to be a more upstanding and law abiding member of society than a comprehensive drop out with no qualifications.

Out of the two, I would expect the person with little or no future prospects to be the more tempted into a life of stealing.

Do you thus condone joyriding then as long as its only 14 year olds doing it? Or what if it were drugs being sold to make a few extra £'s? Or at what age is it ok to sell counterfeit goods and what age is it not? Or how far from the Nike factory is it ok to make fakes?

If you cant do the time, dont do the crime.

I think joy riding is a slightly more dangerous crime to be fair risking other people's lives as with the drugs. Selling 100 pairs of trainers is hardly causing anyone harm, if anything he is doing these people a favour!!! Peer pressure is at an all time high in this consumerist world and they may not be able to afford going into JD Sports spending a whopping £100 on trainers they simply don't have the money. They can now blend into the society they live in without the financial implications.

Theres a brave difference between dropping a piece of litter and going to the trouble of importing 100 pairs of counterfeit trainers from china (including organising the logistics) with a view to selling them on ebay to make profit at other peoples expense.

Its no school boy error to sell may £5000 of counterfeit items.

There we go - a summary of the attitude that has this society the way it is.

You are mistaken, what you will probably find is that a competitor/customer or Nike's fraud investigation unit on Ebay have realised these are fakes and bought a pair the customer must have sent them to Nike explaining these are fakes along with the sellers ID etc. Big companies work closely with Ebay to prevent this black market becuase it costs the economy billions of pounds a year so Ebay will be more than happy to shut down his account and provide all his details to Nike.

You're the one mistaken. You'll probably find the op is a bit of an attention seeker so he made up some baloney that Nike are taking him to court.

You have evidence that Nike have a fraud investigation unit on Ebay or did you make that up? You'll find it is allegedy a vero complaint that has lead to his 'prosecution'.

Even if the op is telling the truth I have no sympathies for someone who rips people off by selling them fake goods and the op should face the music for his actions.

I did post a few pages back that this user seemed familiar, the scenario is one that is similar to something posted previousy, right down to using the sisters account.

Anyway, as all advice is being ignored I for one suggest that unless a new question arises that this thread be left to move down the pages. I won't close it just in case the OP is genuine and has another question that has not already been answered more than a few times.

So you think a university student should be fines thousands of pounds for making a school boy error?

Schoolboy errors are for 16 year olds.

I can smell the same thing. I doubt such a thing can happen, epecially with the data protection act.

Also the op has failed to mention any legal terms he's just claimed Hewitsons has informed him to pay them money which sounds very dubious.

Plus where's the evidence? How could Hewitsons prove the seller sold knock off items, an ebay account can be hijacked, fake details can be supplied to ebay. Surely Nike will not use solicitors unless they had evidence that such an offence was commited, can you imagine the bad publicity they would get if the trainers were real?

Quite simply they will have bought at least one pair off ebay. It is up to the seller to prove otherwise.

Ebay are pretty cooperative with this sort of thing, they will supply the details of how many pairs the OP has sold, as well as any Paypal details (remembering Ebay own Paypal). The trail will lead right to the OP's bank account.
