    Is this site selling fake goods?

    :question::question::question::question::question::question::question::question::question::question::question::question::question::question::question::question::question::question::question::question::question::question::question::question::question::question::question::question::question::question::question::question::question:



    How many times have we been asked this question recently? I appreciate not everyone is computer literate and able to recognise a dodgy website so here are a few pointers which will hopefully prevent you being fraudulently parted from your hard-earned cash, and not just when buying Ugg boots!



    ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS
    perform the following checks on any website you are unfamiliar with before even thinking of buying anything ....
    • Is there a contact address? - ditch any website that uses only a webform/email as means of contact.
    • Is there a landline telephone number? - avoid any website that either doesn't provide a phone number or only a mobile number. Also beware of premium rate numbers.
    • Is the site secure? - check for the presence of the locked padlock sign or https:// (with additionals S) at the start of the address in the url bar above.
    • Is the site registered in the UK? - use a "whois" search facility such as http://www.whois-search.com/ to check the registration details of the website for country of origin, name/address registered and most importantly at this time of the year - the date the site was registered!

    If a site suddenly pops up selling all the top designer gear, and has recently been registered, advertising lots of stock with promises of delivery in time for Christmas then it's likely to be a scam, so STEER CLEAR!!!


    Yuan Chen

    If you find that the registrant of any wesite is listed as this person then please do not touch the site with a bargepole!!!!


    This man is a con artist operating hundreds of illicit websites selling counterfeit products and has a number of websites already registered specifically using the word UGG in the url. Any website you come across using the word ugg MUST be checked.

    CHECK IT OUT BEFORE BUYING!!!!

    The boots look genuine themselves but the label on the box (white label) looks different to the one on mine when I bought mine from Selfridges (so I know mine were real). Not sure though as I got them 3 years ago so they may well have changed by now. I can't be bothered to but if you look at the seller's history, eg has she sold loads of Uggs before (in this case may well be fake) or are thes the only ones...I think they seem genuine...also message her and ask why she is selling them...maybe they're unwanted Xmas pressies?

    The feedbacks 100% positive, though not a huge amount, with people saying they're real etc. But the seller has large quantities of UGGs... :confused:
