 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hello people,
I'm new here so if I posted this in the wrong forum, I apologise and ask the mods to move this thread to he correct one.
I'm looking for a ski helmet and came across these two sites:
ukskihelmet.com
skihelmetshop.com
They have good deals on end of the line helmets (the same stock and prices BTW) but frankly look dodgy as hell.
They show obscure Terms of Service and are vague about returns, if one can return a helmet because of fit (if they didn't actually wear it outside and keep all the labels/packaging etc.
Under contact us there's only a form and no phone number even though in the FAQ they invite people to call them during listed hours. Both companies addresses are listed as tiny (but different) villages...
In any case I wonder if anyone has ordered from hem and what was the experience like? I couldn't find any online reviews which is also a little strange.
Thank you,
|

@BlueJoy, welcome to SnowHeads 
With a list of warning signs as long as that, i wouldn't go near them with a bargepole. Might be genuine, but is it worth the risk?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

It has all the classic signs of a scam site, the weird pricing of everything being .85p, being a main one. Selling £380 POC race helmets for £90 is another.
The contract address is apparently in Wales, but why would you put GB, unless it was based in another country.

I find the fact that this your first post a bit odd. The websites are broadly identical. I had considered offering a helpful reply, assuming you are raising a legitimate enquiry. But..on reflection, could it be you who has created the sites and want to see if they pass muster with someone looking for a helmet online and want someone to spot the flaws and tell you what they are..Sorry if I’ve got it wrong..

another cookie cutter scam site, do people really need to ask the question? I agree with Perty.
btw neither contact address actually seems to exist.

Ok thanks for the help,
It looks dodgy but I can see how this could be a clearing place for end of the line helmets etc, and the low cost model can explain the lame site - if not the suspicious elements.
There are some nice helmets there at a very low price, I wonder if I order with a UK credit/debit card and it ends up a scam can I ask to reverse the transaction? If there were protections I'd be tempted to take a punt.

To be clearer, these are scam sites, you will never receive anything from them.

Yes it is a scam,
I searched the email address they listed on their privacy policy and it came up with this:
https://www.scamwatcher.com/scam/view/577999
They actually have a range of sites (selling bikes, machine tools etc) all in the same identical structure.
Oh well, thank you all for your help
