If you used a credit card to buy a fake jersey online, the RCMP will help you get a refund through your credit card company.

Elliott said securing refunds for fake items is a simple procedure that doesn’t even require a police report, so long as credit cards have been used for the purchases.
Customers have 540 days from the time of purchase to pursue such refunds, he said.
First, customers contact their credit card company and report the fraud. The credit card issuer will then direct customers to the RCMP’s antifraud unit. Its website is antifraudcentre.ca.
The website requires the customer to input the name of the website they used to buy their fakes, as well as the name of the merchant that charged the customer’s credit card.
The RCMP then confirms that the merchant and website are known to have sold fake items, and send an email back to the victim, who can print out that email and take it in to their bank.
“It takes maybe two to four weeks all told,” Elliott told TSN.
He said the RCMP is working with the NHL and 400 to 500 other companies.
