JACKSON, Miss. – Investigators in Mississippi say two men wrapped blocks of wood in duct tape and bubble wrap, attached Toshiba labels and tried to pass them off as laptops.
Hinds County authorities charged the men with trademark infringement and selling goods with counterfeit labels. WLBT-TV in Jackson reports the men were caught Thursday when they tried to sell the fake laptops to an off-duty state trooper.
Hinds County Sheriff's Lt. Jeffery Scott says authorities also found binders filled with paper being passed off as computers.
However, no one actually bought the fakes.
