In a quest to get bargain deals, most online shoppers have ended up in the jaws of scammers. Here, we will have an in-depth look at one site, Boughloaf.com which has been offering products at low prices.
Boughloaf.com is an online store that claims to offer products that you need every day and they also claim to “help surface innovations in tech, design, and much more, all before they go mainstream.” Is Boughloaf.com legit or a scam? Let’s find out, shall we?
According to the information I found in the “About Us” section, they claim to have over 1 million users in 235 countries and territories.
However, according to Whois.com and ScamAdviser, Boughloaf was registered on December 25, 2022. For a website that was registered barely two months ago, having over 1 million users feels like a stretch. Therefore, it feels like false information written to appear older, popular, and legitimate.
Checking out most of the products on Boughloaf.com, one quickly notes the similarity in prices. Most, if not all, of the products, are quoted at £8.13 irrespective of the type of product.
Whether it's a knitted top or hoodie, all the products we found were going for £8.13. This is peculiar and does little to boost the confidence of users especially when you consider the difference in styles.
Interestingly, they also include another offer of getting more discounts when you buy more items. On top of that, they seem to use high-pressure sales tactics. For instance, they include a timer which is meant to psychologically pressure you into buying a product. They also indicate the number of people who are supposedly “viewing” the product. All this is common with scam sites and is meant to rush you into committing to buy.
For a webshop with “more than 1 million strong”, I could barely find any reviews about the site. The only review I found was on ScamAdviser and it was negative with the user doubting the legitimacy of Boughloaf.com.
I could not find any other reviews about Boughloaf.com on other popular review sites like Trustpilot and MyWOT. This does little to boost the already dwindling confidence in the webshop.
Overall, I found a lot of red flags which could indicate that Boughloaf.com is likely a scam. Most of the characteristics overlap with scam websites. They claim to have over a million users, yet the domain was only registered a few months ago. There aren’t many reviews about the site and the one I found was negative. They seem to list all products at the same price which is highly suspicious. The use of high-pressure sales tactics is synonymous with scammy online stores.
Clearly, caution is needed when shopping at Boughloaf.com as its legitimacy is doubtful at best. Customers can shop at more reliable fashion shopping sites out there.
