Fake website? huntersuksale.com

Mateus109

Do a Google search for Hunter wellies, and both hunterboots.com and huntersuksale.com are top hits.  But one was created just a few weeks ago (according to Whois Lookup), is full of low-res images, poorly positioned text and logos, and there are is no address, phone number or chat.  Also all items are in stock, which is even more suspicious!

Is the post about who should I buy from? Or just for info?

The site that looks genuine and sells Chinese made wellies?

Or the site that is not as good and sells Chinese made wellies?

Mateus109

The site is clearly a scam, using Hunter's branding and imagery. Why do you think they are Chinese? They claim to be from London, and claim to sell genuine Hunter boots. It must be a scam, no?
I've reported the site to Google and they've already removed the site from their top search list.

I did not claim the site was Chinese? Please read again.

Perhaps because "Genuine" Hunters wellies are made in China?  LOL.

They are not manufactured as per the original specs and rely on the Name to sell.

Good but these scam sites pop up regularly to entice the gullible in.

As you now know the genuine site is https://www.hunterboots.com/

Used to buy Hunters, but now made to a cheaper MFG process.
