Online shopping is changing the way we shop. Its convenience and ease of use are pretty appealing. Cayred.com is an online shopping website that sells everything from summer clothes to sweaters and cardigans. But with online stores being a rich hunting ground for scammers, I set out to find if Cayred.com is legitimate or a scam.
Cayred, just like other online stores, is filled with beautiful pictures of models and clothes. They look like any other you can add to the cart your preferred clothes and proceed to check out.
Orders above $79 have free shipping while a coupon of 5% is on offer. Most, if not all, products have goods on offer at a discounted price. This psychological trick shows consumers that they are getting a better deal.
Cayred.com claims to have started its operations in 2015. But scamadviser.com shows that the website was started in November 2021. That’s a vast difference that raises a few eyebrows.
Cayred.com states that it is a registered business in the US, but they don’t say which city or state. They have logistics centers in the UK and Singapore, which they claim is easier for shipping.
But they do not list any physical address in Singapore. The only listed physical address is in St. John Street, London. The following company address is provided:
XBP INTERNATIONAL LTD, 145-157 ST.JOHN STREET, LONDON, ENGLAND, EC IV 4PW +447482875871
This information does not match that given on Companies House. Further, XBP International Ltd is owned by a Chinese individual. Therefore, it may be a shell company created in China for processing payments.
They also say they have factories in the USA, Vietnam, and the Philippines. But they cannot list the factories nor disclose their names because of service agreements. Most legit businesses do not have a problem sharing their information and contacts online. After all, the fashion industry is very competitive, and making a name for yourself is paramount.
Upon further research, I found that this text is identical to the ones used by hundreds of suspected scam webshops from China, indicating that Cayred could be just one among a large number of dubious online stores created in bulk by Chinese scam syndicates.
Cayred.com has an active Facebook page where they share some of their best pieces. The page also claims the business was started in 2015, but the page was started on December 1st, 2021, and has amassed over 5,000 followers.
I noted that most of the negative or critical comments were suspiciously deleted when it came to reviews. The page replies to comments that have been deleted, saying that if a customer is not happy with the products, they can return them.
The reviews on clothes on Cayred.com are suspiciously perfect. I did a deep dive on “Bohemian Beauty Green Maxi Dress”, which has 18 reviews, but one is 5 stars. I found a similarity with other sites using the exact customer names and
Bellistyle.com also has the same dress but under a different name: “Puff Sleeve Digital Print Maxi Dress”. The comments and reviews are an exact duplicate.
When it comes to pictures, both.bellistyle.com and Cayred.com use the same pictures for their products.
I found this to be suspicious to have pictures and reviews of the same products sharing this much information.
When it comes to the contact details, Cayred does not provide any phone number under their name. They only give “Cayred@ebismail.com” meaning you can only contact them through that email or Facebook.
We doubt the legitimacy of Cayred.com. Proceed with caution when shopping at this store as it appears to be a Chinese website selling mass-produced goods under false pretenses.
