FAKE Counterfeit GHD hair stylers on Ebay! Fake Code Number (4rs7b 1kmzr 2t6wz)

Hi everyone,
Just wanted to pass on a vital lesson that I have learnt. I recently purchased 3 x White GHD hair straighteners (for me and my sisters) from 2 different sellers on Ebay.
When I received the first one, I tried to register it on the GHD website http://www.ghdhair.com/customer-care/product-registration when the registration failed, I rang GHD and she told me that the verification code on the styler I had purchased 4rs7b 1kmzr 2t6wz is a common verification code found on many counterfeit GHD stylers!
A few days later I received the other two GHD hair straighteners (from the other seller) and when I opened them, I found that these two stylers had the EXACT same serial number as the first one!
Every genuine GHD styler has a UNIQUE verification code. The verification code allows you confirm you have a genuine GHD and also enables you to activate your 2 year GHD manufacturer's warranty.
To anyone who is considering buying a GHD on Ebay.. don't do it! Save your time and hassle trying to get your money back from jerks on Ebay selling fake GHD's and telling you that they're real and giving you excuses about why it can't be registered.
Ebay scammers are able to buy replica GHD's from shops like Link for around USD40 and flog them off to honest unsuspecting buyers for $300!!
The only way you are going to know for sure that you'll get an authentic GHD is to buy it from GHD themselves http://www.ghdhair.com/ or at a GHD approved retailer near you http://www.ghdhair.com/customer-care/ghd-salon-locator
I hope that this message helps other people from getting scammed like me. I'm still trying to get my money back from Paypal.
Once I get my money back, I'm going to an authorised GHD salon near me and buying one for $300 the good old fashioned way!
if you've bought a Ghd styler on ebay and not sure if its a fake, if it has (4rs7b 1kmzr 2t6wz) as the verification code on the hologram tag on the cord, then its fake.
If its another code, make sure you get on the ghd site to register your styler to activate your 2 year warranty.
If it comes up that there is a problem with your code after you put your address details and click submit, you can call GHD and they can verify the code for you.
Ghd were very helpful - Telephone: 1300 880 209 (AU) / 0800 424 744 (NZ)Seller two of fake GHD, same fake verification number:

Please post only verified fakes as we don't want to roast legitimate sellers accidently.
