Bootleg Companies / Brand Names
One of the best way to avoid bootlegs is to know the names of the companies that produce them. This is not even near a complete list I am sure, they are too numerous and new ones pop up all the time. However if you see a product that is from one of this companies below then DO NOT buy it. Keep in mind that some of these companies are branching into other areas. I just have the area they are most common in.
