They promote the importation of counterfeit goods into the country. Several people who participate in this unethical practice post messages about how smart they are and they can visually spot counterfeits and they are experts in stopping counterfeits so its OK for them to do it, but others who do it are bad.
Then when they find counterfeit parts they complain about the Chinese company that sold it.Who get protected the USA companies on Brokerlynx passing along this junk. O2xygen Electronics protects its inner circle. They allow good companies to get ripped off and abused while protecting the importers of counterfeit material.It would be foolish for anyone to give credibility to the garbage they read on Brokerlynx and should think twice about doing business with O2xygen Electronics.
I hope O2xygen Electronics will invite their OEM customer base to look at Brokerlynx. They are proud of it so they should show it off.
O2xygen Electronics = Dangerous Goods = brokerlynx.net = orafec.org
If you care about quality stay away. Need to know more look at the garbage they promote on Brokerlynx.netIf you are an OEM and read brokerlynx then place an order, you've been warned.
Do business with any Brokerlynx user and see what you get Chinese counterfeit crap.Its a game of Russian roulette.

More and more Chinese counterfeiters are on raise on Netcomponents after brokerforum.See the screen shot of fradulent/counterfeit military parts on sale on Netcomponents. Counterfeiters are rapidly growing on Netcomponents in America & China. It is going Brokerforum way where world's biggest counterfeit electronic industry operate in synchronization.
Definitions of counterfeits
There are many definitions of counterfeiting, Let us start off by defining counterfeit components for purposes of report:
"Counterfeiting is the unauthorized making of a copy or imitation of an article, product, or component with the intent to misrepresent its source, contents, or quality."
While most of the media attention has been given to counterfeit finished goods, here we are focussing on counterfeit components that go into otherwise legitimate products. These are invariably supply chain failures, deliberate or otherwise, and are not likely to be caught by customs inspectors or normal quality conformance procedures at a product level.
Detection is usually accomplished at failure analysis after a significant factory yield problem or – even worse – a field or customer problem is noted. This is the insidious nature of counterfeit components; like identity theft, remedy is always after the fact, reactionary, and oftentimes difficult if not impossible.
All component classes from resistors to complex microprocessors have been counterfeited and have made their way into finished goods. Sometimes they are detected, but most times not. We can safely state that almost 100% of electronic product manufacturers have been victims of counterfeit components. The counterfeiting problem is that pervasive. If you have not been a victim yet, you most certainly will be. Size is no protection. All of the major multi-billion dollar electronic product companies have been victimized. A simple web search will turn up many pages on this topic and many specific recalls and examples.

To all brokers here in North America:
--------------------------------------
If you discover that you have been supplied with fake components, come clean and admit your mistake. Otherwise, be willing to prove to your customers that you have never stocked counterfeit components. Please! This is not a big thing to ask, and will go a long way to showing that you value your customers and their custom. If not, you will be seen as the baddies, and rightfully so if you continue to defraud your customers!
I suspect that these brokers are one of the main problems, because they will rarely (if ever) be in a position to supply the necessary paperwork to prove the device's authenticity.
This does not mean that no-one should ever use their services, but all end users and retail/ wholesale suppliers must be vigilant to make sure that no fakes are substituted for the real thing. No-one wants to be stuck with thousands of counterfeit components, so they tend to circulate world-wide until they all eventually blow up. The cost of counterfeits to everyone involved is high, and the sooner everyone is aware of the problem, the better.
When discovered, fakes should always be destroyed. This will help to prevent circulation, so that the overall impact is reduced. Unfortunately, no-one wants to do that because destruction represents a complete financial loss. Few suppliers are in a position (or will be willing) to suffer the loss - even if it was their own stupid fault for not checking the pedigree of the stock they purchase.
The only thing I can suggest is that you exercise extreme vigilance when purchasing semiconductors, and especially the premium devices. If they are normally expensive, then they are ripe for counterfeiting, since the potential gains for the criminals behind these rackets are very large indeed. Always beware if you see normally expensive devices being offered for sale much cheaper than normal. This is usually a good indicator that something is wrong - and in such cases, the supplier may know full well that he is selling sub-standard parts. This is a criminal act ('intent to defraud' or similar) in most countries, and should be reported to the police.
For many resellers, they are tempted by the low wholesale prices (and may not be aware that fakes even exist). They see a way to maximise their own profits, . The backlash is that their customers will be bitterly disappointed, and will very likely take their custom elsewhere - a classic no-win situation.
