This has to be a con!

Does anyone else think this is too good to be true?

kegland Kegland/Keg King 19L Cornelius Ball Lock Keg (NEW) - Hoppy Days Brewing Supplies - shopsi.peysales.com

I was looking for a mini reg and stumbled across this site (apparently from Slovenia). They are basically selling everything for about £12. And I do mean EVERYTHING.

 

[phildo79]

Oh aye, and with free postage.

The old adage...if it looks to good to be true,it usually is.

Buy on a credit card? Spend over £100. If the products don't arrive then you're protected by section 75.

The postage will be more than £12, it would be cheaper for them just the bin the items.

Yes that does look like a fake site, same price before and after discount for everything, include a series 4 kegerator for £12. The funniest thing is the reviews which really they could have tried even a little bit harder .

Well that site maps to two IP addresses:

104.21.8.209 which is in San Jose, California
172.67.130.164 which is in San Francisco

This was my favourite:
“Mr Skok
I bought my daughter, she loved, she wants to introduce her friends to buy, really great!”

12 quid for a corny yeah right,

 

[phildo79]

Total horse sh1t. If they made the prices more realistic, people might fall for it. If they had brains, they'd be dangerous.

So someone in California is pretending to run a Slovenian webshop. What is the significance of it having two IP address'?

iit‘s not that unusual, just for resilience - the address ranges belong to CloudFlare which is a cloud hosting operation, so them being USA doesn’t necessarily mean they aren‘t a Slovenian business. What payment methods do they say they accept?

How much did Mr Skok pay for his daughter?

 

[phildo79]

£12

 

[Cheshire Cat]

That sounds logical. Live long and prosper

The scam isn't trying to get $12 from you it wants information so I don't recommend giving them your address and credit card info at best you will need to cancel the card and you email address will be the target of further scams.

I was being a bit facetious... I maybe should have made that clearer!

It is the best choose for me

The pics look to be screenshots badly photoshopped in. Can anyone be daft enough to fall for this?
