        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Montauk luxury store Wyld Blue has been accused of selling counterfeit goods by <strong>Instagram’s WePhotoshoppedWhat2</strong>, and the store is now fighting back with a legal threat.</p><p>A lawyer for shop owner Sasha Benz has fired off a cease and desist letter to the anonymous Instagram watchdog account, stating, “It appears that the sole purpose of your posts [is] to harass, annoy and to otherwise damage the name and reputation of [Wyld Blue] and its principals.”</p><p>The account began tracking Benz last month when a customer bought a pair of Chanel earrings, but later learned the baubles were fake after she had them authenticated. Benz admitted the snafu and said she was misled by a person who sold her the earrings. She refunded the woman’s money and said she’s now having items authenticated by a third party.</p><p>“I stand by everything we have in-store,” Benz told us. “It was one single, isolated incident that has been completely blown up.”</p><p>Benz claimed that the Instagram account is “bullying her.” But the account’s owner is brushing off the cease and desist as a “scare tactic.” “Every single thing I have posted is based on fact,” the site’s unnamed operator told us via direct message. “I have never bullied Sasha — she simply has no idea how to take responsibility.”</p><p>The account has also called into question the authenticity of a Chanel hair clip, Fendi earrings and a number of luxury bags, such as an Hermès Birkin bag and a Christian Dior tote.</p>]]></content:encoded>
