All around the world, millions are gearing up for the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia.. Kids will watch and dream of being an Olympian when they're older. The majority of us will watch, amazed by the athleticism displayed, and root for our home teams says the BBB.
The BBB has issued a warning; Beware of scams! Official Olympic merchandise is available through a number of sources, but counterfeit goods and outright scams are everywhere. A recent search on eBay showed 5,693 items for "Sochi 2014." Many were authentic re-sales, but some were fraudulent.
The most impressive item was the "Olympic Torch Sochi 2014." Yours for just $7,000! Seems a number of eBay sellers have the "Original Olympic Torch" for sale.
If you want to purchase team merchandise, go to these official sites:
- The Official Olympic website - sochi2014.com
- Team USA - teamusa.org
- Team Canada - olympic.ca
A handful of these "Official SOCHI 2014" torches are advertised on eBay as "Original and Rare" and "NEW."
We can't attest to authenticity - what do you think?
