Heard the Good News about Maple Fretboards?
LOL at uberscuffed back of the headstock.

Shoot ESP an e-mail with that serial number, they could probably help you determinate if it's real

I see next to zero chance that it's real. Just look at the "flag-wave" headstock, which is way too wishy-washy. The lines are not sharp enough at all. The fonts in the circle on the back are the wrong size in relation to each other, and even if there's a font variant on the real ones that I haven't seen I doubt a real ESP would print it with such crappy outlines.
The shape of the the headstock sides is also wrong, the flare should be more pronounced, but this one is way too wide next to the E tuners.
...and like others have said, the TRC is crazy looking, fonts are ever so slightly off all over the place and the inlays look rather unmatched (size-wise) after the 15th fret.
Avoid. Perhaps report.

Don't even bother, it's fake. Yesterday I almost bought one in Poland (had the same serial number).

Don't really need to say this as so many others have already, but that is a fake. Really fake. I didn't know there was such a big market for fake ESP's.

If there's a huge market for Chinese made Epi LP knockoffs (there is. MLP has a huge thread about it), you can bet there's gonna be one for ESP as well.
I get Epiphone or even Squire as they sell more than ESP.

It's a fairly good attempt as far as these things go, but not sure why they put so much effort into it. With that much work, and at that price point they should just start their own brand.
