Recently, furry enamel pin maker Fursona Pins announced in a tweet warning of counterfeit Dogbomb pins in circulation, which according to them, was made by an ex-staff who was removed in violation of their policies before.
| Genuine | Counterfeit |

| Dark brown sunflower (front) | Light brown sunflower (front) |
| Smooth back | Rough back |
| DB: The post (nail of the pin) on the top left | DB: Posts are closer together |

Fursona Pins called on the community to not resell or trade, but instead have these imitation pins mailed to them to be destroyed.
They have lodged a report with the authorities.
Correction (7:46am UTC+8 25/11/2020) – The person described by Fursona Pins to have made the counterfeit Dogbomb pins is not a ex-staff, but by a member of their pin trading and selling community.
