Is Enelongi.com legit or a scam? This is a popular question on ScamAdviser which has prompted us to write this review. With many online shopping scams leading to consumers losing billions of dollars, it's vital for shoppers to do their due diligence.
Enelongi.com is an online store that claims to be a factory outlet and offers a wide range of products from furniture to sports and outdoor equipment. However, are they legit or a scam? Let’s find out, shall we?
While some stores resort to offering discounts to attract more customers, scammers also use the same to dupe customers. When I checked Enelongi.com, I was stunned to see a lot of their products were on offer. In fact, a quick glance at the webstore reviews products with as high as 92% discounts.
Such deals only ignite suspicions as they say, when a deal is too good, it's wise to think twice. They also claim that they are able to offer such cheap prices because of “factory direct prices,”
Interestingly, no one is allowed to visit the so-called factories which makes it wholly unbelievable.
One of the most pressing things I noted was the changing names. Throughout the website, they refer to themselves by different names. For starters, when you click on Enelongi.com, the header reads; Mio Factory Outlet.
On the home page, they keep referring to NK-markets and they even go ahead and say; “Welcome to the Official Store of NK-markets” This is common with scammers who use different names to confuse unsuspecting customers.
On their website, claim that their email address is “NK-markets@gmail.com”. As you can tell, this is a Gmail address that can be opened by anybody and is very uncommon with legit businesses.
Interestingly, and unsurprisingly, they have left out the phone number under the “Contact Us:” page. This feels like a deliberate move by the owners to make it harder for consumers to reach out.
In most legit websites, social media buttons are included to help customers see more products or items on their preferred social media platforms. However, when it comes to Enelongi.com, they have provided dummy social media buttons.
Again, this is common with scammers who want to dupe unsuspecting customers into thinking they have a vibrant social media presence. It casts doubt on the legitimacy of the website.
According to the data I found on Whois and ScamAdviser, Enelongi.com is registered in China.
However, on their website, they claim to be in three countries, the US, the UK and Germany.
I went a step further and checked out the listed addresses to verify if indeed the addresses actually exist and if the factories are actually there. I was stunned to see that on “799 Coliseum Way, Midvale, UT 84047, US”, there is no mention of the said company or the likelihood of a factory. The same address is also claimed by another Better Business Bureau (BBB)-accredited organization.
At the Berlin address, “Landsberger Allee 320, 10365 Berlin, DE”, I noticed that it was claimed by another furniture company.
It has become common for scammers to randomly list addresses as very few customers will do their due diligence. Plus, dubious owners also know that the mere mention of a Western country will likely win them customers and make them look more credible.
Even though I could not find any reviews on all popular websites such as MyWOT, Trustpilot, or ScamAdviser, Enelongi.com claims to have lots of reviews.
In fact, most of their products have impressive 4-5 star ratings though it's hard to verify the said reviews.
It’s highly likely that the reviews are only included to dupe customers into thinking they are legit.
In general, there are a lot of red flags that suggest that Enelongi.com is likely a scam. From changing names, and the free Gmail address to the dummy social media buttons, there is a lot that doesn't boost the user's confidence.
Additionally, there are no reviews outside the website while addresses listed are questionable. The prices are too good to be true which is a common move by scammers. Caution should be exercised when shopping at Enelongi.com, there are more reputable online marketplaces out there.
