Poster: A snowHead
|
I saw this on the internet a couple of months ago, it’s still there.
It looks too good to be true. Has anybody used this site?
Are these fakes or just a scam to take your money and send nothing in return?

Scam I'd say. No contact details or physical address

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

@charleslsegal, I don’t even need to look or go past sentence #2.
Spider Jackets on the internet. First alarm bell because they tent to be the big hit for fakers.
“It looks too good to be true”. It is.

There was a good article recently on the Escape Collective (cycling website) about these new breed of scam websites.
https://escapecollective.com/cyclings-biggest-scam-network-is-an-impossible-enemy/
I have seen a few of these recently with skiing brands, targeting the likes of Black Crows and Arc'teryx. If it looks too good to be true it usually is, however some of these sites are targeting lower end fraud as well. I nearly got bitten trying to get some merino base-layers that were 40% off. In that case the discount seemed reasonable as it was at the end of the season and last years stock, however it was actually a scam website. I only realised when I looked for the shop location (in Spain) in Google Maps and found it was in a run down farming town!

My brother inlaw is a Proffessor of IT in Singapore, he tells me never buy anything from a Maylasian registered company besides the IT Security highly ? , they are highly efficient and sound very plausible do not whatever give any IT home and personal details addresses etc especially both hm and em as they are very advanced in their techniques for getting information.
Maylasia is regarded as the top country for cloning everything from IT products, clothing, watches ,sports products and though cheap ? so beware.
