Kakkad said that he bought a Titan watch and Ray-Ban sunglasses from Club Factory which was available at the site at up to 90% discount. However, when he received his order, he was reasonably shocked as the both the products turned out to be fake.
He then got in touch with the customer care of Titan and Ray-Ban, who both denied having any collaboration with Club Factory.
