Gearbikeshop.com, a relatively new website of only 91 days, appears to be perpetrating a fake store scam. Research indicates that the individuals managing the website are likely based in China. The goods listed on this site are knock-offs, and potentially hazardous due to the subpar materials employed in their creation. Not only are the images presented on the website inauthentic, but the content also seems to be plagiarized, closely mirroring that of other similar websites.
A fake store scam involves a fraudulent online outlet that pretends to sell genuine products. In reality, these entities sell counterfeit goods or don’t send any items at all once payment is made. Often, the scammers are located overseas, making it difficult for law enforcement to track and prosecute them.
