I am asking all buyers and sellers to keep an eye open for the sale of this MAC ‘fake’ face make-up and let myself Lou or any member of our team know. It is possible the make-up is being sold at other locations like Hayle & Rosudgeon.

Hello Emma,

Thank you for your email and we appreciate you drawing this to our attention, I have asked Louise to carry out checks to look out for this seller and if we do find your facts are correct then we will take immediate action and report the matter to TRADING STANDARDS who would want to take action against this type of selling.
Thank you,
Geoff

As soon as we have any further information I will contact you however I would ask for you to let me know how much you paid for the alleged ‘fake make-up’ I would also like your permission to put your email into Geoff Says column to warn other potential buyers and also other Car Boot sellers and buyers to look out for this stall so we can take our own action against this type of trading.

Thank you again for this warning.

Kindest regards,

Geoff Camden Wiles

Subject: Warning, fake make up being sold
Message: Hi Geoff and Louise, Would just like to bring to your attention that I attended Mabe yesterday and bought some designer make up which has turned out to be fake. There was a lady on a non-market stall selling the usual car boot type stuff but then she had a box of MAC lipglosses in the middle of her table. I bought several different shades from her, they looked very authentic but when I got home and applied them they actually burned my lips and they are still tingling now nearly a day later! I had a quick look online and these particular shades that she sold are well known fakes. There are other tell-tale signs that they are fake, namely the smell which is like lemon washing up liquid! Please warn anyone who may have bought these not to use them as I do feel they could be harmful, who knows what is in them. Best wishes Emma Jones
