I've had numerous photographers contact me in the last few weeks notifying me of fake DVDs being sold on eBay. Beware of bidding on used DVD's online! Especially from sellers who reside outside of the U.S. Beware of any websites claiming to be selling my DVDs as well. We do not outsource our sales or sell through 3rd parties! Here are a few facts that may convince you to buy from the source:

1. I do NOT sell my DVDs wholesale or in bulk ANYWHERE so beware of anyone selling more than one copy, they are most likely running a scam or selling fakes. I did sell in bulk once to Gary Fong about 2 years ago, but currently have no DVDs being sold by any 3rd party vendors. MikeColon.Net is the ONLY place you can trust to purchase original Mike Colón DVDs.

2. My DVDs are professionally replicated (or pressed) from a glass master using the most advanced technology to ensure usability on every modern DVD player and computer in the US and in most countries worldwide.

3. My DVDs are bright silver on the bottom (not purple or green) and show no evidence of being burned or duplicated.

4. My DVDs are professional printed using 4 color CMYK process and clear coated. I do not use inkjet labels or printable inkjet DVDs.

5. My DVD inserts are professional printed using a high resolution 4 color CMYK process. Skin tones should look true and the text should be sharp with no blurred or jagged edges.

6. My DVDs cases are high quality, solid black, and have holders inside for the correct number of DVDs included.

7. My DVDs come sealed in a protective clear plastic sleeve. They are not shrink wrapped because the heat could damage the case or the DVD itself.

8. My DVDs come with a receipt which includes a traceable purchase ID number which is unique to each DVD sold on my website. You should ask to see the original purchase receipt before buying it from a 3rd party.

9. My DVDs ship in protective cardboard boxes that do not crush or allow damage to the DVD case even when dropped or banged up in normal delivery.

Don't settle for a fake or take a risk of never getting the product you paid for. Don't end up like the dozens who have tried to save a buck by purchasing from a 3rd party and ended up emailing me telling me their DVD doesn't work or it never came in the mail. PayPal won't protect you, eBay won't accept responsibility, and I won't replace a fake for you. Buy from the ONLY true source, which is MikeColon.Net! http://www.mikecolon.net/blog/2008/05/bewa...dvds-being.html

Well I have a fake one. GREAT.....uhh I thought it was a little suspicious getting one from Isreal. i thought you just liked to travel a lot. Sorry my friend, I didnt mean to support someone taking money away from you.
I know the guys name and email address if you would like it.

Hey-

They say that imitation is the best form of flattery, right?



Too bad there such scandalous people out there--- I'm glad you caught the fraud early on, tho.

Good luck man---

Out of all the movies. concerts, and other DVD media in the world they are faking Mike Colon videos....Mike you gotta know you now hit the "Big Time"

Rolex/Rollex
Colón/Colon

I have a Fauxlex that lasted all of a week.

I'm one of the photographers that contact Mike. Currently I can guarantee that two people are selling multiple dvds of Mike Colon. They are so obvious if you look at there selling history. FIRST SELLER - Irush Haim- This one i purchased from and it took 24 days to get the dvd from Israel and i paid $150 for this dvd.After several emails to the seller Irush Haim and 24 days have passed I finally received the package with my Mike Colon DVD. He told me he was from Israel but I did not know the item would ship from Israel. His Ebay account says he is located in Illinois, United States.I recieved the Package from: Sarah KoganHanita 54/2Haifa 34223, IsraelSECOND SELLER- tobyscollagefund - has 3 of your titles for sale. And in the last month has sold at least 6 Mike Colon titles. I have to laugh because that name tobys collage fund is great way for sympathy sales. i'm sure this guy is not in college.Anyway good luck shutting him down. He also is selling DVD's by Joe Buissink, Gary Fong, Will Crocket, and Photovision.Oh and I filled with Ebay/paypal and will be returning the product to Irush Haim. I'm also working hard to get them shut down.

PS. I've also filed with EBAY/PAYPAL to shut this guy down and get my money back. I'm going to stick it to him/her in every way i can think up. But first i want my money back.
