Checking Manually
If you do not have a Smartphone or are unable to scan the QR code, then this section describes how to check authenticity using our web site.
On each security seal you will find two numbers as well as the QR (Quick Response) code described in the earlier section.
The pair of codes on every label is world wide unique to the single item to which it is attached.
To check authenticity, you must go to the web site as printed on the seal (444‑444‑444.net) and there key in the two codes shown on your label
and click on the 'Go to' button.
You will see the "Lookup: Page 1" shown on the right.
The page is asking you to confirm whether you have, or are about to, purchase the item.
The normal response would be to tap the orange 'Yes' button. It is very important that you select the correct option. If you are just trying out the system and are not purchasing the item, then you must tap 'No'.
It is equally important to tap the 'Yes' button if appropriate. That action confirms
that you have purchased the item. The system will then record the item as 'sold'.
You will then see the "Lookup: Page 2" shown on the right.
If Page 2 shows the exact details of your product then you know it is genuine.
If you are shown some warning message, or if the details of your product do not match the description,
there is a problem and you must follow the instructions on the screen.
The item you have is suspect and needs to be investigated.
See samples of warning messages on the next page.
You may well decide to not buy the item, but we would be grateful, for the benefit of other purchasers,
that you still fill in the Contact Us form,
so we can investigate and take the matter further.
Tap the Contact Us button, fill in your details as well as where you purchased
or checked the item, and we will get back to you as quickly as we can - typically within 24-48 hours,
though often it may be much quicker.
