There have been tons of fakes on ebay and Amazon. They have all the markings of the real ones but are total counterfeits. I wouldn't trust anything coming from overseas or from sellers who dont usually sell medical or protective gear. For example, a seller who sells mainly cheap pc accessories and now is also selling N95's...i wouldn't trust those.
