Beware of world wide prom dress scams

PITTSFIELD - More than half a million teenager girls are being taken for a ride this year on the way to a high school prom -- and it has nothing to do with a limousine rental. It has everything to do with counterfeit clothing -- cheap replicas of stylish prom gowns.

What's happening is: companies are stealing legitimate images of prom dresses from legitimate websites, then posting those pictures on their own web sites, offering bargain basement prices, but shipping shoddy replacements to unsuspecting young girls.

Pittsfield High School senior Sarah Rayner was shopping for a prom dress Monday night at Deidre's in downtown Pittsfield, preferring bricks and mortar to any cyber selections.

"It's so easy to get ripped off on line," Rayner says, "There's a lot of people posing as other people they're not and it's very hard to tell."
