MosJan Posted February 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 http://www.foxla.com/news/local-news/fox-11-investigates-la-retailer-accused-of-selling-counterfeit-brand-name-merchandise LOS ANGELES, Calif. (FOX 11) - A months-long undercover investigation by FOX 11 has revealed that a popular Los Angeles clothing store has been selling counterfeit brand name merchandise under the guise that it is legitimate.The store in question is called Old School, located at 427 N. Fairfax in L.A.’s popular Fairfax district, and the owners now have felony warrants out for their arrests. It’s known for selling high price, high fashion designer streetwear, including popular brands like Amiri, Chanel, Gucci, Saint Laurent, but customers FOX 11 spoke with say there’s a major catch.“I bought a $500 jacket from Old School and it turned out to be fake,” said Paul Fuentabella, who runs a popular streetwear YouTube channel. “Countless people have been ripped off, not just myself, everything in there is fake.”Old School has a F rating with the Better Business Bureau with numerous complaints about sales of fake merchandise.Its Yelp reviews are more of the same. Dozens of customers have left angry complaints about purchasing fake merchandise they were led to believe was legitimate.FOX 11 wanted to give Old School a chance to respond to the allegations, so we stopped by to speak with the owner, a man named Alex Eshaghian.Our crew was confronted by a confrontational security guard who claimed that Alex wasn’t at the store, but as he said that, Alex walked into view of our cameras, noticed us, put his hood on, and walked out of the back of the store.
