Mate just got offered a fake LEUPOLD VXi 3.5-10. One email to Leupold confirmed it.
Reply was "The serial number 302621AC belongs to a known counterfeit scope."
One quick way to tell "Leupold does not use the letters I, O, and Q in its serial numbers because they are easily mistaken for 1, 0, and 0. If a scope has these letters in a serial number, it's fake. If it does not contain a letter at the end, it's fake."
Always check!.
