Silly question guys, but are they fake Ban Dai kits around?

I am used to seeing fake PVC figures and some shops even tell me whether these are the good quality bootlegs or the lower quality ones. I have even seen some pretty poor Ban Dai fakes where they have gone to the trouble of changing the logo on the box to Ben Di using the same font!

But now i have just come across the shop in Low Yat Plaza that is notorious for its bootlegs and they have quite a few Evangelion kits inculding a Master Grade one complete with the Gainax holographic sticker but the box just doesn't look right.

So my question is are there a lot of Ban Dai kit bootlegs out there and how do i tell?
*
Fake = counterfeit but claiming to be original
Bootleg = counterfeit but under its own brand

The way I look at it, there is no 'fake' Bandai kits, only bootlegs.
