Cheap copy and imitation (knockoff, imitation product)

On the financial market, a security that has been designed to be deceptively similar to a highly rated product – and usually a blue chip – especially with regard to the name and/or logo of a highly respected issuer, such as Dow Chemicals instead of Dow Chemical or Volkwagen instead of Volkswagen. Such imitations are fraudulently sold to unsuspecting investors as bargain purchases via offers on the Internet and via distribution channels in the shadow banking sector. – See Beschores, blind pool, blue-sky laws, stock market letters, cold calling, darkrooming, dingo values, financial vultures, frontrunning, secret tip, money suckers, ghetto banking, glamour stocks, Internet forums, air securities, make-up, nonvaleurs, avenging angels, scalping, shadow banking, top values, underground banking, angle brokers.
