Trollbeads website alert

For those that are new/unaware there a site live selling non Trollbeads for Trollbead....
http://www.the-jewelry-store.com/trollbead-pandora-chamilia-reflections-store

The beads are no Trollbeads and usually with these sites the risk of having your credit card looted is even more imminent.

Thanks for the warning! I took a quick look and none of the beads I saw were Trollbeads, but the newer collectors may not realize it!

OMG that is really bad, Trollbeads should definitely sue for copyright infringement. They are using the term "trollbead" as if it was a generic bead term...NO NO NO!

Thank you! I am always "surfing" other sites for beads! Wow!

Thank you for this info. I am appalled that a company can get away with this I hope TBHQ puts a stop to them asap.

This is just sick. they dont even went throught the work of stealing stock pictures. so obvious fakes. well at least it is good for us they dont seem to know what they are doing. :/

The scariest part is not that they are fake but that it's most likely used to steal your credit card number.

They're not exactly fakes, they look like they're all beads by Sterling Reflections, which is a pretty decent brand name itself. It's just that they're using "Trollbeads" as the generic for all European bead charms.
I bet they used to say Pandora!

Why can't they just say European style bead? None of us will mistake them for Trollbeads, but imagine a newbie landing there? If you have pretty beads, you don't need to steal someone else's trademark/name, you will want to make your own name! Even a die hard Trollbead addict can have their head turned by a pretty bead!

I saw that site too... They are very expensive beads for fakes!

I bump this up for people to see in other time zones.
It is bad.

How impertinent to call this crap 'Trollbeads' ! Have they been reported?

Thanks for letting us know!!

Thank you for the heads up..... I definitely took a peak and it's funny because none o them look like trollbeads but if you were not aware of TB products it could be very confusing....

Yes, thanks for letting us know!

Thanks for the warning

Had a quick look & even I ( know nothing !!! ) can see that not TB. What a scam, surely TB are doing something about the site ?

Just a thought ... maybe they think they are " safe" because of the name Reflections Trollbeads ?

Using "trollbeads" in the name is NOT a good thing. I have had customers come to me saying "oh I have this bead, its a trollbead" (when its NOT, but its hard to correct a customer who is set with what they have).

This is NOT good, I am appauled! Those beads are ugly and I wish they didn't use trollbead as a generic name, when it obviously is not. Can TB patent or copyright their name? They had this same issue with the novo beads didn't they?

Thank you very much for the information.

Thank you for letting us know!

Thanks for the heads up on this one! darn scammers...

thanks for the heads up

Thats a shame.
I tend to stick with the retailers I have known the longest and spoke to in chat or by email.
I am just going to start lurking ebay to see what is up there...

Thanks for the heads up.

Thank you for the warning.
