Not sure about the picture that is posted, but the masks that we received through another source are like the ones on the right and the packaging authenticity scratch off number passed the Powecom verification website. Bonafidemasks also provides a link to that "anti-fake check," so, either the right hand masks are also genuine, or the Powecom verification process doesn't work.
Powecom packaging has a scratch off verification number. You can go to http://www.powecom.com/verification.ht

Consumers should generally avoid shopping for such masks on Amazon and eBay, experts say. Instead, people should refer first to the CDC's list of N95 alternatives that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approves for use in health care settings and try to buy them directly from the manufacturer.

Noticed these are not returnable, but to be fair most masks are probably not returnable. I bring it up because of the $57 cost. Many complaints for the KC mask is around the loose elastic so its somewhat of a gamble. The KN95 here is a smaller gamble at $10. Yes N95>KN95, but only if they fit properly.
Second, yup.. I picked up a few extras for stuff like this and I can always wear them during allergy season for things like mowing the lawn. With all this talk about masks I find myself more incline to wear one now for things other then Covid.
This is exactly the kind of mask that we all ought to be using. At this price, there's no reason to bother with so-called "surgical" masks, few of which have any sort of data to prove effectiveness.

I also at first refuse to wear the made in China on this mask... But honestly it is better than the wyze and others... Green color font and all stuff written on it make it look very pro.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) does not recommend that the general public wear N95 respirators to protect themselves from respiratory diseases, including coronavirus (COVID-19). Those are critical supplies that must continue to be reserved for health care workers and other medical first responders, as recommended by current CDC guidance.
