Go Outdoors scam site

This fake Go Outdoors site is on social media offering Go Outdoors products at silly prices

As ever avoid any sites promoted on social media.

But the big hint is.

gooutdoors-SALE-SHOP.

Any UK retailer has a clearance section on their main site.


To be fair no consumer rights issue though.

'silly prices' should cause anyone to have a sense check.

I was going to say that the headline offers did not look that unusual.  Such as spend £80 get £10 off, or free shipping for orders over £39.
Then I saw the £4700 bike at £45.99 !

I've never seen brands like Berghaus and Merrell with 80% to 85% off.
That would be enough to make me suspicious (assuming that something advertised on social media hadn't made me suspicious already).

I've found out this is the work of the big scammer operating at the moment called " Honest Concept Trading " based in Hong Kong. They have loads of genuine retailers websites copied and send out crazy cheap offers .
