Are There Fake S4's Out There?

I've been looking into it for the past hour and haven't found anything on the topic. There are a couple youtube videos but they are a joke (the "fakes" are actually in-store dummy's).

I did read a news artical from a few days ago saying that the first fake S3 have starting showing up in China.

Any information or ways of telling the difference from a fake and real?

Attatched are some images of one I saw on eBay a few days ago that looks suspicious. I don't think the led is meant to be that yellow and the front facing camera looks about double the size it should.

You can easily tell that the screen is much smaller on that fake

Yah the bezels are HUGE compared to the real S4.

My LED is yellow, but its also a black S4. I'm betting it would look more yellow on a white S4. That being said, my LED also has somewhat of a grid inside and from the distance in that picture you should be able to see it which you can't.
