Anyone ever order through here? It appears to be a snowboard/skateboard site. They have crazy sale prices on good shoes/clothes/decks and shit. It gives me scam site vibes a bit though also. They seem to have a very very large inventory with almost too good to be true prices on some stuff.

There's no physical address, don't trust it.

A little of researching around on their website, found the physical address. I also see they accept PayPal. I never shopped there before but it looks legit to me.
That’s not a complete physical address. It’s just the Zip Code listed with the city, state, and zip code again. The company email is a persons name, [email protected], I don’t know much about that email server site but it’s seems like it’s to keep anonymity. I wouldn’t shop here. Also seems kinda scummy for Shop and PayPal to allow these types of sites to use their platforms. Unless they’re fly by night places that are hard to keep track of until they get multiple disputes.
Yeah, protonmail is a privacy focused service. In all fairness, shopify probably has hundreds of thousands of sites on their service, and I'm sure there are a lot of scam sites. There are a lot of telling things across websites that you have to keep an eye out for, the main one being typos or lack of legitimate address. There is no return address listed on their refund page, which in itself has irrelevant info about flowers/beauty goods being non-returnable. The phone number's area code is for Bowling Green, KY. The town it's said to be located in has a population of less than 2,000. Nothing adds up. I've been doing this for a long time and honestly I think people need to be a lot more diligent, especially as banks are limited in what they can do, and your info is out there when you buy something.
Against better judgement I ordered a pair of shoes from the Rally On ice site. It has ended up being a scam site. They even went as far as attaching a fake UPS tracking number to the order. When it said “delivered” it was in fact not delivered(to my address anyways). I contacted UPS with the tracking number and they confirmed scammers are able to attach a tracking number fraudulently. They said my tracking number is attached to another name and address. Anyways…I just wanted to update so no one else gets tempted to order through that site. Fuckers haha.
I thought I talked some sense into you! lol sorry you got scammed. Was too good to be true after all.
Haha thanks. I shoulda listened. All good. I’m a mimp . My bank is already reversing the charge. It is now my goal to be avenged and take this company down haha. Anyways..that’s the end of that saga. I just wanted to put the word out on this site in case anyone else ever comes across it and gets tempted.
On the topic of fraudulent web sites, there seems to be more and more, often with slight differences in the URL / name, so even the biggest online stores are having issues with fake sites popping up, usually better sales and discounts than the real ones and copying the product pages and info, but obviously not shipping out any product.
Some of the easiest ways to check is via their social media links and then if you go into more detail, the domain name information, how long the site has been registered, what country the site is hosted, etc.
There is the old saying "If it looks too good to be true, it probably is" but looking into it a little can help a lot too.
Example of fake websites:
volcomvip.com when the real one is volcom.com
