Counterfeit/Fake Shure SM58 Microphones

On the outside of the glossy box is a silver label marked SM58 Legendary Vocal Microphone, Unidirectional, Dynamic, On/Off Switch, Break resistant mic clip, Mic bag. The Model No should be SM58S when a switch is fitted.
Inside the Glossy box there was:A microphone, marked SHURE SM58, with a switch.A threaded microphone holder. This works fine.A Black "pencil case" microphone holder. This is 8.5 inches long, the inside is white, no tag, and the embossed Shure logo cannot be seen on the insideAn orange 2 year warranty notice, in various languages.A white Purchase Registration Card and Customer Survey. The return address is Denver, USA. If I complete the Purchase Registration Card and Customer Survey and return it to Denver, I could win a Shure SM58-LC microphone. Except the competition ended Dec 2000.A glossy advert for Shure Microphones with a blue border.An SM58 User Guide in 6 Languages. It is dated (c)2000. The current one on the Shure website is dated (c)2006. It is for the SM58, and the wiring diagram does not show the switch.No SHURE sticker. Now I do
