So the link I posted has changed to the new product. Apparently that seller ripped off the original maker of Tergikleen and had to discontinue sales and change the formula. That explains why the updated ad said Tergikeen and now it's Tergiking.

Here's from the original maker of Tergikleen:

YES, Ebay user "supremesalenozzle" blatantly counterfeited our Tergikleen® product, with a cheap fake label and used our Registered Trademarked name and logo. He even copied my product photos I spent many hours doing. Our sales completely stopped on Ebay and Amazon because he was selling for about $10 cheaper. Then we started getting emails from customers wondering why our bottles now had cheap fake labels on them, they thought they were buying from US. What was IN the bottles is not our product. I messaged him and demanded he stop immediately, and that our name and logo are Federally registered Trademarked and sent him a link to the full text of our trademark ownership on the Federal web page. He claimed he wasn't breaking any laws and and claimed that he BOUGHT OUR BUSINESS on Etsy! We thought he had gotten scammed, but after getting several disturbed messages from him, I don't believe anything he says. I reported him to Ebay's trademark protection group, "VERO," sent them our trademark number documents and registration number. It took like 5 messages and they basically did nothing. He should have had his seller account deleted, he is still there. So he pulled the listing after we sent him a legal "cease and desist" form, he renamed it, "Tergikeen." One letter removed. This is STILL a trademark violation and I reported him again and VERO did nothing. VERO, are obviously employees in India, and they clearly do not understand Trademark LAW. Finally after we told him were going to seek a lawyer, he changed the name again to "Tergiking." Thats still not legal, but at least we mostly got rid of him. He refunded the money, so no one could give him bad feedback. I would not use what he sold, he's a 20 year old kid who tried to steal our business, and mixed a toxic coctail making false claims for it. Shame on Ebay for giving cheats a free pass.
