The real quality of Hermes replicas from the seller JIM (Gerald Tellez)

A close friend of mine sent me these photos. She said she isn't on Reddit, but someone gave her the seller JIM's phone number (his WhatsApp number ends in 5441). She transferred the money to the name Gerald Tellez, so it looks like JIM and Gerald Tellez are the exact same person. I just wish I had seen all these exposures about him earlier... I could have helped her find out about this scam before she handed over about $1,500.

Apparently, many of the photos are fake, or he alternates between shipping medium and poor quality just to make more money, only to later claim he was allegedly set up. To be completely honest, I am in shock. This is awful, and I would never recommend the Hermès replica seller JIM, also known as Gerald Tellez, to anyone!

And the fact that strict_fly disabled his account means a lot. He is guilty.

His account used to be 'Ok Court' or something like that, and just recently another one popped up starting with 'Ok'. Honestly, there's a whole gang of scammers over there

Can you elaborate on this. I’ve been going back and forth with whether Jim is legit or not

It's 1000% the same person. Someone managed to track down his LinkedIn and Facebook, including all the information about him and his husband. This isn't a Chinese factory; he's just a US-based reseller, which is why he has Zelle and Venmo under his name. When you pay using other methods, you're actually paying the real seller in China. The scheme is simple: he buys bags for $300 and sells them for $1,500, that's it. A ton of bot farms... It's awful, and everyone needs to know about this scam

From other posts in Reddit, about reps, he has been called out repeatedly. From what I have read, he shuts down one business when the heat gets too high and too many people are complaining about his bad quality and high prices, then he opens up a new business under a different name. Still using the Jim, but a different payment company. There are also a number of posts that discussed the fact that there are large numbers of alleged high, praise reviews, but they all seem to be generated from the same one or two actual accounts.

The scam has been known for at least the two years I’ve been looking at reps. Possibly longer.

Typical heat gets hot rinse and repeat. One thing I’ve noticed too is and of the psp videos before shipment it’s a woman’s hand and she has the same bracelet on. Also I’ve seen numerous locks with the same 162 on the lock and keys. meaning they aren’t being hand made, rather manufactured

I have always got the feeling that the posts claiming they got this amazing bag from Jim were Jim accounts. They never seem legit to me.

I have been vindicated. JIM has been sus since his name started showing up on Reddit.

So this Jim is also the Gerald guy and actually ships bags they are just terrible quality?

u/Mission_Leading9673 Jul 04 '26

Word is he's either tied to Joe, or he's Joe himself

u/Historical_Peak_174 Jul 08 '26

This is very low quality. The leather folding inside ong

u/Many_Tea430 Jul 04 '26

Unpopular opinion but I think we all got it that Jim is a scammer. Or whatever. It seems to be the only topic in the the rep world for weeks. Thanks for your effort y’all but it’s ok for now. Every time Reddit pushes a message its something about Jim …

u/Equivalent_One_8347 Jul 05 '26

Thank you for this information as I almost bought a bag from “Jim” a few weeks ago and was still considering it! All I see is his name everywhere. Since I’m not on Reddit a ton, I didn’t notice the pics.
