Fake chargers are often made to resemble the original product including the branding.

Sure, but this one came out of the Apple box, purchased in an Apple store in the USA
Purchased new? Or refurbished? It'd be interesting to get the history of that device serial# from Apple to see if it was perhaps a return or something, and was returned with a fake charger. Granted the store may be on the hook for not verifying it was a legit accessory before reselling it, but that IS a pretty good looking clone so I'm not sure I'd really fault anyone too much for overlooking it.
