CFS original vs fake: authenticity checklist ID 846

With the growing popularity of CFS on marketplaces and in chats, unregistered copies from "Planeta Regionov" have increased. Below is a checklist on how not to buy a counterfeit.

What is considered an original

The original is a product by Sergey Koltsov with micro-relief according to the manufacturer's technology, supplied through the official network. Each model has a specific name and series in the "Planeta Regionov" registry.

Red flags in advertisements

• No specific model name (only "CFS Koltsov cheap").
• Other people's photos or a price significantly lower than the official range without explanation.
• The seller cannot name the series and does not know the equivalent on the manufacturer's website.
• "Universal" plate without micro-relief or with smooth printing instead of relief.

How to check before buying

1. Find the model on the manufacturer's website - verify the name and series.
2. Compare with the card in the PKSOVA catalog - the description and photo should match.
3. Use the PKSOVA authenticity check page or ask a consultant in the messenger.

Why this is important

A counterfeit does not pass the manufacturer's control: the relief, material, and stability differ. You pay for the brand but do not receive the informational pattern for which the model was created.

Safe purchase

PKSOVA is an official distributor with a warehouse in Germany and delivery across the EU, UK, USA, Ukraine, and other countries. The catalog is synchronized with the manufacturer; new models appear with official descriptions.

If you have doubts about a specific advertisement - send the link or photo to a consultant. And for a first introduction to the topic, read what CFS Koltsov is.
