And I doubt scanavo can do something about it. Fantasybok is most likely from China, so they can do what ever they want.
As bitter as it may sound, but we collectors are the best bet this hobby has.
I for one am not going to buy from them. No matter how many people will do or how great their steels may look. I just move on, not looking back.

I’m from China, and I can confirm these fake(I refuse to call these fake custom) are from China. This news was shocking in China as well since this is the first time so many fake steelbooks floods the market in such scale, my fellow collectors there warned me about these fakes. And the so called Germany boss is just another Chinese who resides there in German. So if this violates German law, can we maybe have someone in German tip off the police and get this person arrested maybe?

I'm not really sure about the situation, but I doubt his company is registered in germany.
He probably lives and sells in germany, but the company "operates" from somewhere else. Cyprus or something are common for this stuff.
He would be pretty stupid otherwise.

Tipping off the police is not an option. You need solid proof in order to do that and you probably also need someone to drag him to curt. It's on Scanavo to do that.
