Reports have come in flagging Shoptasmaniangourmet.shop as a counterfeit storefront. At the time of the news, the site was merely a month old. It’s alarming to note that the website doesn’t feature a customer service number for users to contact. The website’s content doesn’t appear to be original, it seems to be simply a mirror copy of other similar websites. The images displayed are not accurate depictions of the products they claim to sell. Several areas of the site remain incomplete and still contain default content and placeholder text. Additionally, the company’s social media accounts appear to have no followers whatsoever.
A fake store scam is typified by a website that pretends to sell products or services but, in reality, is a set-up to steal money or personal information from unsuspecting consumers. These sites often mimic legitimate websites and use copied or stock images to appear genuine. Despite their professional appearance, they often lack customer service contacts and may contain unfinished pages or placeholder text.
