Siltech says TMR sold me a fake cable but I want to believe TMR


First off, TMR is as professional as it gets.  As someone who’s worked in the backend of a business, I can plainly see the lengths they go through and time spent refining what they do. They offer a 110% authentic guarantee. At least that’s what I’ve seen, the salesman in the phone told me last night. Today I look into it and there’s no longer 110% but 100%. 
anyways, there was a siltech ruby double crown power cable. I looked it up before purchasing and found page with minimal information on siltech website. The cable looked similar but very different than the one on tmr website. Maybe It’s not the same cable I thought. I dug deeper and found a lot of pictures of siltech cables with Asian language and followed the websites to find a lot of fakes. These looked closer to what was in TMR website. 
so called TMR and expressed my concern. Ryan assured me they were probably real because of the process they use to identify authenticity. That put me at ease. However before calling I had reached out to the North American distributor and siltech themselves.  Talked in the phone with monarch and sent him pictures via text. He never got back to me. Siltech messaged me this morning tell me the cable is not in their database and is a fake 

here’s my dilemma, I’ve heard many of times about how companies don’t like people buying used because it means they’re not getting the sale. Makes sense. Is there a possibility that siltech is lying?  
does anyone here have experience with siltech and ruby double crown or fake siltech in general and could help me identify?

@gkelly...I was an Audioquest dealer for many years.  Here is their policy:

 

The AudioQuest Authentication Policy

If you suspect you bought a counterfeit and utilize the official physical authentication service provided by AudioQuest, the outcome depends entirely on their inspection:

  • If it is authentic: The company will return the genuine cable to you completely free of charge.
  • If it is counterfeit: The cable is immediately destroyed at their authentication center. You will receive no compensation, no replacement, and the remnants will not be returned to you.

I would believe Siltech. They have a record of all the cables they have put into the market with serial numbers. A visual inspection of photos should be all that is required to verify authenticity. If the cable is counterfeit, I would think that they would be within their right to remove any tags with the Siltech brand name on them.

@mofimadness Iwill admit that who would want fake cables returned. And I doubt anyone ever made a claim for their return. Makes a good marketing line, still not the law. 

Cable is being returned. Not sure if because one end has a slight kink in it or what but there’s distortion or something coming through that is hurting my ears. Best part of the cable is the fullness of mids and good bass. But not a huge fan of the timbres or the smaller side imaging compared to my furutechs
