I just went through this myself recently.I knew the NGKs i was buying were way too cheap but i was hoping somehow these were real.After pulling the trigger i found that video and compared them to the ones that came out and of course they were fakes.They were really good looking fakes though.I left the seller negative feedback and he offered to refund my money AND let me keep the fakes if i changed my feedback to positive which i refused to do.

Wow what a scum back! He knows that hes selling fakes, but yet he keeps pushing them on people. Good for you, for leaving a negative feedback. If it was through amazon, ebay, etc most will return your money after you file a complaint. If they do not, then you can do a credit card refund.
