Unless you bought it through Amazon using the links off Anker's website, it's probably a fake. Though, if it's any consolation to Anker, scammers only counterfeit the best.

Its only a pity that most scammers do a poor job. If someone made a better counterfeit, then the problem is much smaller. I'd be glad to pay less for better!

They counterfeit anything they can make money from, but "the best" is generally a go-to market for sure.
