Default Beware fake platinum or Iridium Spark Plugs

I recently bought a set of AGSF32fm Platinum Motorcraft spark plugs on ebay.
They came in an original looking box, with Motorcraft labeling.

I don't know why I was sus' on them from the start, but i decided to inspect them closely, and found they were sub-standard.

The platinum tips were just machined steel, and there was no internal resistor.
Looking closer, the graphics on the box was a bit off also.

The seller didn't believe me, and said he bought them in bulk from America, and had sold a stack of them, but he did agree to refund my money.

Apparently it's happening also with Denso and NGK plugs, and also O2 sensors. So keep it in mind
