Alpinestar and Dianese TM ripoff merchant

SCAM alert - TradeMe seller offering top brand gear cheap.

This trader has some nice new stuff – Alpinestar and Dianese new without tags and claims they are real thing.
Got interested in some boots but as there was no model name given I tried finding ones that look same and could not do so.
Then saw the ‘fly tiger motor’ caption on pics and sure enough fly tiger have a lovely website full of all sorts of top brand gear they make and sell cheap from China! I don’t think so. These brands protect their name and would not let these guys make their stuff and sell it cheap. As we know China does not respect international patents.
Therefore I can only conclude this TM member is a rip off merchant especially as he answers questions saying they are genuine.
Me thinks this person needs a bollocking.

I've reported one of his auctions.

his auction has been removed, hopefully he is banned. If anyone bought his stuff a visit may be worth while...these creeps get my goat up (now where did that expression come from?).
