Babyliss Pro Prima 3000 Review and Scam

Published 2018-01-12
I was scammed by www.popgrab.com!!!!

I bought an authentic flat iron from EBay and a fake from Pop Grab through their Instagram Ad. I thought the website was legit but after doing a little research I thought the site seemed fishy but I had already placed my order so it was too late. Well today I received my flat irons and they were indeed counterfeit.

  • Took screenshots of the differences between the two now I know what to look for. Thank you for saving me money, time, and embarrassment

    Thank you for sharing that. I almost bought a fake one. Before I decided to see some videos on YouTube and yours pop up. Great video!!!
  • @275MsParis
    They selling alot of Fake ones on EBay as well

    If you don't speak English:

    PRIMA: Original (Canada)
    OPTIMA: Replica (China)

    Much peoples don't know about it and pay an expensive price for a fake instead try find a real one, but it will be hard depending where you live, greetings. 💕

    EDIT: Recently, I searched about the brand BaByliss PRO ® Paris and discover that in part of South America her name is really Optima 3000, in North America is Prima 3000 and in some others Continents it's can be called Elipsis 3000 or have the same names already cited or another one, changing the heat and somethings in design of box, manual and flat iron, it's varies according by each authorized distributor by Conair Corporation and several countries about energy rules, around the world, so for a secutirty purchase, demand for the purchase invoice, certificate by your country factory, six months warranty and a reliable supplier, I hope I helped to clear up some confusion about replicas and original changes in different countries.

    Bought one from pop grab also. Suspected it was a fake but wasn't sure until I found your video. Thanks!

    Thank you so much for making this video. I always knew they were fake ones out there but could never find a video that actually showed the difference. Again thank you, thank you, thank you for making this video. And I thought the part with your son was funny LOL.
  • Pro tip: if you get a deal and it's more than 20% off, it probably fake. Or used (ain't nothing wrong with that as long as you know).
  • I just bought a fake from Ebay. And the paint is rubbing off. I had it less than 8 hrs. Heated it up and used it on one client. Then rubbed it to keep it clean with a soft cloth and the paint is coming off. I contact the seller. She sent me a shipping label to return it. And get my refund. This is a shame out of all the research I still got a fake. Omg. Smh
  • @luvylove3635
    Thank you for your video. With your help I was able to ask the right questions to the seller from Facebook Marketplace. Poor thing had no idea of the value. I bought the 3100 1 inch along with Joico and Chi samples for $38 USD $50 CDN.
  • @cfoster6804
    Girl, with a website name like "Pop Grab" or whatever you should've known.🤣
  • Another Update!!! I disputed the charge with PayPal and they said I need to mail the flat iron back to the return address....the return address was in CHINA!!!!! $68 to ship it there!!!!! I still haven’t mailed it back yet. They said they’ll return my shipping costs once I mail it back. Such a freaking rip off!!!!!!
  • I was all over the web trying to figure out which flatiron I should get, I came across your video, it was funny and very insightful. You saved me , between amazon and eBay I look for the better deal.. I never thought that they would have fake curling iron..even thou there’s no hassle in returning purchases,I don’t like to have to return stuff. I do my research so when I buy something its 100% bullet proof...after looking at your vid, I went straight to eBay and purchase my flatiron. before I buy anything I mean anything,I’m going to look for the fakers😁👍🏿Great Video..Thank you🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
  • @triceh7671
    Thank you for doing this video...
    I will definitely be being one and know what to look out for...
    FYI, some Ebay seller's are also selling Fake one too.
  • @MrMyletta12
    Thank youuuu this helped me so much because I've been looking at this flat iron for some time now and didn't want to buy it bc it was pricey but you say it works great and you love it and now I know how to look for a knock off version.
  • Did it come with a glove? Also, are the letters raised up on the box?
  • Thank you for doing the comparison. I did buy that straightener from pop grab. Tried it & my hair was not smooth, it was kind of frizzy. I will try to return it.
  • Omg thanks for vid girl ....I bought a fake one too...sending it back now
  • So glad you expose the frauds. Same thing happened to me, got the item box said vs appliance with Spanish writing. It’s a fake, buttons, grip, temp lights a mess! Dispute with your bank! High five to you!!!!!🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
  • @StaceyShanel
    Thank you for this video!! I am looking into one off of Facebook Marketplace and I'm having to ask a bunch of questions to make sure that they are authentic!
