Fractal Audio Fake alert.

@Geordielad mentioned in a post earlier today about some fake guitar strings that brought this online listing to mind. Is nothing at all sacred to the Chinese?

I wonder if they have any L/XL Flex-Fit hats.

I hate flex-fit hats. Give me the good old adjustable backstrap anytime.

Definitely don't go on any of the Fractal related Facebook pages - this crap shows up repeatedly.

I report it every time as it's a) unauthorized and b) spam...

I’m bald and shave my head. Flex-Fit hats are way more comfortable on my head than snap-backs.

Dont forget to buy the Alan in space T-shirt from that very same shop

I noticed that a shop on Aliexpress also had an FM3 for sale. Buying or being given a fake t-shirt or hat is one thing but buying (potentially) a fake FM3 is another thing altogether.

I wonder if they have fitted better quality USB-output connectors?

I will openly admit to having a friend make me a pair of vinyl Fractal logo window decals (for free) for the rear side windows of my 4Runner, primarily because Fractal does not offer such a product. But I would never even think of trying to sell such a thing.

They give you a free FM3 when you order a set of hat + T-shirt. Just don't order the white one, because the logo is also printed in white
