You need a test purchase when a listing looks fake, a seller undercuts your price, or your counsel needs proof a court respects. We buy the product under cover, document the sale, and preserve the goods and the paper trail. The seller never learns who is really buying. What comes back is evidence, ready to file.
What we do
We order as an ordinary customer, from an identity aged for years and built to survive a hard look. Nothing on the order reveals a brand or an investigator. One unit proves a fake. A wholesale order proves volume and points to the warehouse behind the storefront.
We follow the payee, the shipping origin, and the return address to a real seller. From there we map the operators, the payment rails, and the supply chain feeding the goods, so your legal team knows whom to pursue and where.
We examine what arrives and compare against the genuine article. We confirm counterfeit, genuine, or a material difference before anyone acts. A false counterfeit claim against real goods counts against you, so we settle the question first.
Some sellers move counterfeits. Others move your real product, bought through a real channel and sold below your price. The two demand different responses. We tell them apart and point your enforcement at the right target.
We record every step from checkout to delivery and hold an unbroken chain of custody. When a listing comes down, your evidence stays intact. Your counsel files on a record built to survive challenge.
From scope to filing
We scope the target, run a conflicts check, and agree on the proof your case needs. You stay clandestine. We act as your proxy.
We place the undercover order. One unit for proof, or a wholesale buy when you need to reach the source.
We log the payee, the shipping origin, and the return address. We inspect the goods and lock the chain of custody.
You receive the LitPak®, a court-ready PDF, exhibits organized for filing.
