Is this a fake website

[tonksy26]

Girlfriend wants this babyliss perfect curl thing for Christmas and just been looking online. I've managed to find a website that is selling it for £99 with free delivery where as they normally go for £160+. Seems a little bit to good to be true tbh. By the looks of it, it's an American website so is there a chance that it's a Black Friday deal ?

Is is there any way to check out if the website is genuine ?

Doesn't look fake tbh, maybe it's an older version of the device?

No it's defiantly the same product and it does say the rrp is £165 which is right.


i cnt find a phone number or address anywhere which makes me suspicious.

It says free delivery (UK mainland only) so it's not an American Website.

You know what they say though, if it looks too good to be true...

Avoid like the plague mate. Screams scam all over it.

I wouldn't buy from there, no phone number, no address, website doesn't look great either tbh.

I wouldn't buy off there after doing a bit more research. The domains registered in China and registered very recently (probably when the product came out!)[FONT=Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif] [/FONT]Creation Date: 2013-10-16T00:00:00Z.

Might just be that they farmed out the registering and hosting to one of the cheap online web agencies based over there.


But the about us page reads like nonsense:

US spelling and I havent ever heard the DTI named quite like that.

Quick google of that product though and boots sell it for £120, as do Argos.

Either way, the website is set up to scam people. Not a chance you would see anything after paying £99.


Same as all the GHD scam websites

Pics of girlfriend to decide if curled hair will be worth risking the dodgy site.
