Its not really that complicated

At the CCC, we're dedicated to putting an end to the victimization associated with purchasing a counterfeit MINI Cooper. We cooperate with MINI and international law enforcement to pursue criminals. But there's one other crucial partner we need to recruit: YOU. We can't do this without YOU. Educate yourself about the problem. Learn how to detect a fake. Know when you're being hoodwinked. Together, we can put an end to this appalling injustice. Together, we can make our streets genuine once again.

Hehe

Although this might help people who are looking for a mini cooper a bit, if you look closely at the commercial they have you'll see one clip that looks kind of like a fake: The counterfeit cooper is driving into a brick wall, and unlike a regular car which simply gets crushed and airbags go off, the entire thing explodes

Ice, click the links on that page. "Detecting a fake" is pretty good.

That seemed a little condescending to me, and wasn't necessary.
