Anonymous with the orange UK charger: I'm told that genuine UK chargers have a serial number at the very back of the USB port looking into it, so take a look. Also, if you have a scale, weight the charger and see if it matches the weight in my article - oh, sorry I don't have the weight for a real one. Any of my readers want to weigh a UK charger? As for the text on the charger, if it's wrong then it's definitely a fake, but sometimes fakes copy the text exactly. Best way to tell: smash it open and send me pictures :-)
