Our President will be speaking at ERAI’s counterfeit conference April 28th-29th in Las Vegas. He will share inside information on how counterfeiters are actually removing die from one product and packaging it to look like new in another product. This new development in the counterfeiting world makes it near impossible to detect fakes with the current methods employed. There are a few signs to look for to detect this new type of counterfeit and he will detail them in his presentation. Click here to register for this conference
