Counterfeit Blinders Hit the US Market
M100 Laser Jammers Sting US Customers
It never ceases to amaze me the crookedness within the radar jammer and scrambler industry.
Back in 2005 Carl Fors from Speed Measurement Laboratories and I tested a what was then a new “wireless” laser jammer called the First Strike that was manufactured by Dongen Electronics, a divison of Attowave Electronics (who also manufacture the Rocky Mountain Radar Crap) both based in Korea.
The manual for these jammers were basically a photocopy of the Blinder M-20 Extreme with the Blinder references removed.
When we inspected the laser heads, we found them to be of similar design of the Blinder Xtreme heads, minus a few laser diodes.
The “wireless” laser jammer controller plugged directly into your cigarette lighter and the laser jammer heads plug into a controller mounted under your hood or under your seat if mounted on a motorcycle.
During our testing of this cheap and blatant Blinder knock off, the device failed to jam any of our laser jamming equipment! Carl and I both wrote up our reviews for this product and respectable dealers in the US decided not to carry them. We later found that the only websites foolish enough to carry these jammers were all based in the United Kingdom.
The UK SpeedTrap Guide then did a follow-up and published their own review of the First Strike and their findings: “The testing results were very poor and we would suggest that you NOT consider this product”
After all our published reports slammed the First Stike, most of the UK dealers stopped selling them after angry customers sent them back for refunds while including our test reports on the device.
Tonight I was surfing the web and found numerous websites that are selling these same counterfeit Blinder Laser Jammers in the US Market now being marketed as the M100 Laser Jammer and the M100 Motorcycle Laser Jammer and immediately recognized them as the same device that Carl and I tested!
To even make matters worse the following websites; RadarScramblers.com, e-radar-detectors.com, radar-jammers-detectors.net, jammerstore.com, radarjammers.tv are all using images “Stolen” from my StealthHog.com website depicting the Blinder laser jammers installed on my own Harley Davidson motorcycle (with my Arizona license plate “MC1MAZ”), as their own M-100!
Being a retired cop, I don’t like it when thieves steal my own copy written content material, so I’m in the process of filing a DMCA notice against RadarScramblers.com and the other websites in question, while also notifying their hosting company, Yahoo and Google requesting that their services be shut down until they remove my material!
My second wave of attack will include a letter to the Cheif Enforcement Officer of the Federal Communications Commission, notifying them that these websites in question are also selling Rocky Mountain Radar products that were found to be in type 15 violation of their rules.
My third wave if the images are not removed within 48 hours is filling a suit for DMCA violations.
In the meantime, buyer beware. If you’re considering purchasing a laser jammer or radar detector please do your homework and purchase these products from legitimate companies and not from some shyster that sells counterfeit products and/or those Rocky Mountain Radar products that don’t work either.
If it’s too late, consider doing what customers in the UK did when they found out that they were ripped off. Contact your credit card company and request a full refund for being defrauded!
