Is This Charger Fake?

[JayStanford90]

Hi! I found this Samsung 45W charger from an online shop. It's priced at P1k ($17) and I suspect this charger to be fake, but I'm not sure. Do you think this is fake? How would I know?

Hey JayStanford90,

It looks like you're holding an old EP-TA845 charger, an earlier version of the 45W charger we have now. We don't sell this anymore on our online store, so I'm assuming you got an older model in stock. 

It doesn't look fake to me - the markings look accurate to me, at least.

This charger doesn't look like a fake to me, but I don't know if you can trust that charger.

Fake 45W chargers are rampant online. I suggest you buy only from reputable shops. Note that some fake ones will also give the "Super Fast Charging 2.0" notification but in reality, it's not even reaching the correct wattage for SFC2.0.

The original one cost 3500 PhP in the official Samsung Online Store. That costing 1000 Pesos should raise some concerns, specifically if you bought it new.
