  • I was scammed by www.popgrab.com!!!!
    If you’ve been scammed leave a comment. Also please like and subscribe.
    I bought an authentic flat iron from EBay and a fake from Pop Grab through their Instagram Ad. I thought the website was legit but after doing a little research I thought the site seemed fishy but I had already placed my order so it was too late. Well today I received my flat irons and they were indeed counterfeit.

    *If you don't speak English:*
    *PRIMA:* Original (Canada)
    *OPTIMA:* Replica (China)
    Much peoples don't know about it and pay an expensive price for a fake instead try find a real one, but it will be hard depending where you live, greetings. 💕
    *EDIT:* Recently, I searched about the brand BaByliss PRO ® Paris and discover that in part of South America her name is really Optima 3000, in North America is Prima 3000 and in some others Continents it's can be called Elipsis 3000 or have the same names already cited or another one, changing the heat and somethings in design of box, manual and flat iron, it's varies according by each authorized distributor by Conair Corporation and several countries about energy rules, around the world, so for a secutirty purchase, demand for the purchase invoice, certificate by your country factory, six months warranty and a reliable supplier, I hope I helped to clear up some confusion about replicas and original changes in different countries.

      Thank God you posted this on CZcams!! My husband bought me a new flat iron for my birthday that just passed 11/26/18. My flat iron was confiscated by TSA last year when I went on a trip to NJ. So I was looking at reviews on how to use the flat iron bc it's fancier than the cheap one I had before, but I couldn't read any instructions due to the entire box & instructions on the inside being in Spanish. My husband felt bad bc he was like, "babe I got it off Wal-Mart's website. I'm not cheap & you know I'm not cheap babe! Hello I buy Jordans!" Lol!! So this will be returned tomorrow & I'll be going to Ulta to purchase the real deal. I know for one it's not fake there! Makes me wonder if the Nike's they be selling on Wal-Mart online fake too🤔 It's a damn shame that the money we work so hard for is being ripped off by fake products!! Like fr fr!! I'm sorry this happened to you, but I thank you for posting this warning others about the real vs fake! Much love!

      Wow.. I had no idea that it was fake flat irons. I have been seeing these flat irons on Instagram (in hair videos) and started falling in love with them. Also the Pro red titanium flat irons too. I bought a pair that was very similar but it didn't say pro and it was $30 cheaper than the real ones. I've only used them once since I've bought them but now I'll be on the look out for the fakes. Thanks for posting

      Did you dispute with your bank? Your bank may even refund the $68 you have to spend to send it back. Talk to your bank. Paypal will protect the customer so much. Paypal will also protect the seller so much. Or dispute both charges with your bank. Spend the $68 to return the flat iron to get your money.

You saved me , between amazon and eBay I look for the better deal.. I never thought that they would have fake curling iron..even thou there’s no hassle in returning purchases,I don’t like to have to return stuff. I do my research so when I buy something its 100% bullet proof...after looking at your vid, I went straight to eBay and purchase my flatiron. before I buy anything I mean anything,I’m going to look for the fakers😁👍🏿Great Video..Thank you🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

    girlllll... I had ordered one a week ago from Poshmark, and the first dead giveaway was that the OP had multiple listings sold with the same pictures. I still bought it anyway for $64. As soon as I bought it, the lady messaged me that she couldn't ship until next weekend, I said that was fine. As soon as it came it, I KNEW it was fake. The boxed was extremely banged up, words in spanish, Optima3000 the whole thing, but I still gave the benefit of the doubt. Nothing prepared me for what I saw, however. The blue plastic wrapped around the iron was shredded in some parts, melted off, AND FINGERPRINTS! at first I was like, this isnt new, as she advertised. I found your video and you bet im going to fight this. I turned it on, and yup, button lights are all red. Luckily, Poshmark has buyer protection and I hope they refund me and I get to send it back. But this is DANGEROUS! Beware! and thank you for making this video!!!

The black one was $75 and the prima was $80 instead $180 from ULTA. Someone needs to check to see if Sally's is selling the prima or the Optima. Just in case the lady who did the review did not notice.

      Yeah I think so too I also think it's because some or meant be sold in outlets are department stores like Walmart or you know hair vendors and stuff like that but I also think that the ones that are supposedly the real ones everyone's talking about I think those are the ones that are meant to be sold by hair stores are meant to be sold at salons for professional use so the price would be more but if that's the same with all products they have a higher version in the lower version some that are meant to be sold in department stores and some or meant to be sold in salons are certain places for professionals

      @@chiloveradiouncut what about Babybliss sold in other countries? They need to address that part as well. Did some see them address that the Prima and Optima are both Babybliss, but the other one is not a U.S. product? It is probably meant for other countries to use. They make the better version for the U.S. only. I don't owe a Babybliss,but am thinking about purchasing one. I guess I better do more research.

      @@tj.henderson if you get a counterfeit flat iron you'll be able to tell...it will feel cheap....you can also take it to a retail store near you and compare it to the one in the store. There are people out here that can't tell real from fake but I can. I buy authentic products because they don't lose their value. I am a seller on eBay.

    I should of done the same before I got my Supposedly babyliss pro miracurl machine , got it off eBay came in last Thursday and not sure if authentic or bc where the little grey round thing on it in other videos etc, mine is black on that part. Not sure if it’s authentic or not. The part where your son said something about low battery that was funny and your look 😅. Very informative video thanks for sharing, also not sure my babyliss flat iron I have not like yours . Mines all blue, if it’s even real either, have had it for least 4 yrs my hubby got it for me online somewhere and also wondered if we got scammed on it or if it’s real . Yep they tools are hot hot hot I have natural curly hair & long and thick and don’t use hot tools often but every once in a while when I want to change hair up I do but it hurts my hands and they so hot. What was the price difference in your 2 irons? I got both mine for great prices but they probably more fake then a 3 dollar bill bc the real ones new as you know are $100 plus 😱🤣 I definitely be getting my $ back if I was you, if my curl
    Machine is fake then I’m returning it to ebay and will go Ulta or somewhere to buy it lol

It's most likely a counterfeit ! regardless where you buy it , be it Amazon, eBay , Walmart , Target etc.. . You can check the price on Ulta, or ask your cosmetologist to check the price for you on Cosmoprof first . This is a Licenced professional only beauty supply store where only Licensed cosmetologist are allowed in the store in order for you to confirm authenticity and price before you buy .

      Someone mentioned that they called Babybliss and Babybliss said some countries outside of the U.S. do sell the Optima version verses in the U.S. they sell the prima one. So,call Babybliss to make sure. Hope that was helpful. Oh,they lady mentioned that Cananda also sells the Optima version instead of the Prima version.
