If anyone reads the IET's Engineering & Technology magazine, in the current issue is an article "Electrical industry fights fakes".
It has a picture of counterfeit and genuine MCB's side by side with the covers removed.
The fake has literally just a crude switch inside it. No current sensing or fusing. Unless you opened it up or tested it with an overcurrent, you would never know (until it failed to trip when necessary and your wiring melted).
