With the festive period quickly approaching, scammers are on high alert as much as shoppers are eager to spend. One online website has caught our attention as many are wondering, is Greenplantsed.com a scam? Having quickly risen to among the most searched sites on ScamAdviser, we were compelled to take a look.
Join us as we discuss the copied content, ask questions about the ownership of Greenplantsed.com and where they are located, and finally answer the question, is Greenplantsed.com legitimate? Let’s get started, shall we?
According to the information on their website, they claim to be owned by Selon Company Limited, which is based in the UK. Interestingly, this information is included in the form of a picture, which is synonymous with scam websites that want to make it hard for anyone to do their due diligence.
When I dug deeper, I was stunned to see that Selon Company Limited is listed by multiple other dubious websites which could suggest it’s part of a larger scam network. We have extensively covered scam networks in the past like the Uniqueness Scam Network and there are a lot of characteristics about Selon Company Limited that overlap with what we generally see with dubious websites.
Interestingly, on their About Us page, they call themselves Mowaven, which is highly suspicious as legitimate companies only go with one name.
By continuously referring to a different name, one cannot help but wonder, what is the connection? So, I did some research and found that even the content on Greenplantsed.com is copied from other dubious content. Again, scammers will duplicate content over and over, only changing the names- which they have not done on Greenplantsed.com- to dupe customers. This makes us doubt the legitimacy of Greenplantsed.com.
On their return policy page, they claim that should the buyer not be satisfied with their products, they can return them to them. However, they list support@mowaven.com as their email address. As you can already see, this is a different domain than their website, Greenplantsed.com. It’s likely a plot to confuse users and create scenarios of deniability should buyers reach out to them.
On top of that, I also noted that customers are required to bear the cost of returning items, even though it's not their fault. In some cases, the cost of returning an item can be greater than the actual cost of the item forcing unsatisfied clients to stay with unwanted products.
Overall, there are a lot of red flags that suggest Greenplantsed.com may be a scam. The company they claim owns them also owns multiple other websites which makes it harder for users to trust them. It also hints that Greenplantsed.com may be a part of a scam network that is using the same company name, and content to dupe customers. The return policy is also wanting as customers are to pay to return defective, damaged, or unwanted products even though it is no fault of their own.
In general, exercise caution when shopping at Greenplantsed.com. There are many more reputable online shopping stores out there, but as always, do your due diligence before clicking any check out button. Happy shopping!
