Sixthpanda is an online store that offers products such as homes, clothing, accessories, etc., As the site was among the top searched sites on ScamAdviser, I was compelled to analyze the site and write this review.
According to Sixthpanda, they are owned and operated by Landbase Trading Co. Ltd which is located in the UK. Interestingly, the information contained here is in a form of a picture rather than words. This is a common trick by scammers who try to make it hard for people to directly copy the company's information and hint that there may be a number of websites using the same information.
When I checked Landbase Company Ltd. on the UK’s Company House website, I found out that the company is owned by Chinese nationals.
This suggests that Sixthpanda.com is likely a part of a syndicate of Chinese scammers who use UK-registered companies to hide their identity.
While there is nothing wrong with offering huge discounts but when the deal is too good, it makes you think twice. With Sixthpanda, they seem to be offering discounts on almost all of their products. This is yet another common trick used by scammers to lure customers.
At the bottom left corner, there appears a pop-up supposedly showing real-time information about products that customers have bought from the site. Again, this is similar to what we see with dubious sites. It’s meant to win the confidence of users while at the same time putting psychological pressure on them to complete the purchase.
We found mostly negative comments about Sithpanda.com online. On ScamAdviser, the site has an overall rating of 1 star.
One of the customers has complained that they never received their products despite paying for the order. Yet another customer claims they received the wrong measurements. We could not find any other reviews from other popular sites like Sitejabber, MyWOT, or Trustpilot.
We could not find any social media buttons on the site. This is very surprising as, in this day and age, companies have really invested in social media presence to attract more customers. However, we searched the same name on Facebook, we were surprised to see a number of pages with similar names.
This only adds to the confusion and lack of transparency on the webshop. When we checked on some of the pages, most are linked back by Sixthpanda.com. This seems like a deliberate attempt to confuse buyers. Most of the pages are run from several countries like Indonesia, China, and Germany.
Interestingly, some of the pages list different locations which only adds to the confusion. This looks like a deliberate attempt by scammers to appeal to buyers in the UK and the USA by listing those addresses.
Overall, there is a high likelihood that sixthpanda.com is a scam. There are a lot of red flags that are hard to ignore. The webshop is likely part of a Chinese network of dubious sites that operate under the facade of being businesses based in the UK. The site claims to be a part of Landbase Company Ltd, which has been associated with scam sites in the past.
We could only find negative reviews of the site on ScamAdviser and there are many social media handles from Sixthpanda which only adds to the confusion. Caution should be exercised when shopping at Sixthpanda.com.
