Anyone who is not intelligent enough to buy directly from a manufacturer or authorized reseller has nothing to look for in the world of cryptocurrency. Such people will mess up sooner or later, even if they have the original hardware wallet, because having something like that doesn't mean they're safe.
These devices in the pictures look like children's toys, and most know that Trezor does not have a model labeled Mini. I wouldn't worry too much about this, because the Russians, and especially the Chinese, copy whatever comes in handy.
I would worry more about identical copies, which at first glance are hardly different from the original.

Damn, those are pretty close indeed.
I wonder how many people have actually been scammed by these though? Surely the Trezor Bridge software would detect a fake wallet, or do they use some other wallet client? That should be an immediate red flag for anybody.
