Stocktee is just over a year old and there is no data available about who is actually running the website. It has an Alexa rank of more than 2 million, which means it is not very popular. However, we have observed that there have been many searches for it on Scamadviser.com recently, which suggests they may be running advertising campaigns on social media platforms.
Stocktee’s website is not impressive and seems to be built using a basic template. The products being sold are sports-themed and pet-themed clothing. The images don’t seem to be copied from other websites and I was not able to do a price comparison of the items. However, they are using several copyrighted logos, images and names with no evidence that they have been officially licensed. There is a copyright disclaimer on the website, but it seems to be fake as it carries a date of 2015 even though the website has only been active since 2019.
The website contains a section called ‘Happy customers’ which carries customer reviews. However, these reviews seem to be fake as the same reviews were also found on another website.
Though the products look like they are original, there is evidence that the rest of the content on the website is copied from other online stores. The About Us section of the website has the following text:
“Stocktee is an exclusive store for the world’s best animal themed apparels such as lion, donkey, mouse and so on.“
Firstly, this text makes no sense because there are no products relating to lions, donkeys and mice on the website. Secondly, it was found that there are 298 online stores using the same text, including websites and Facebook pages. The full list is given at the end of the article. 54 out of the 274 websites in this list are using shared IP addresses. This shows that many websites similar to Stocktee might be involved in intentionally defrauding online shoppers.
While testing the checkout process, I found that the Paypal account being used to collect payments is under the name of Ta Mai Anh. This seems to be a common Vietnamese name, suggesting that Stocktee is run from Vietnam.

Scamadviser Verification
The Scamadviser page of Stocktee has not been claimed by the company.
There are no social media profiles on StockTee mention on the website. However, we did find a Facebook page created in February 2020. The page information revealed that it has 6 page admins located in Vietnam. Suspiciously, the page was shown to be claimed by a company named ‘Alaskan Clean Seas’ based in Alaska. Coupled with the fact that a Vietnamese account seems to be used for Paypal, there is some reason to believe that Stocktee is a Vietnamese company trying to pass itself off as American.
The contact details provided include a phone number, an email ID and an address. The address provided seems to be fake as it is of a residential area in Vermont. Meanwhile, the phone number carries the area code of Oakland, California and shows up as ‘Shushantak’ in TrueCaller. It should also be noted that the phone number is a VoIP number, which means it can be operated from anywhere in the world. The email ID was found to be working when tested. Therefore, the only way to contact Stocktee is via email, with the address and phone number being fake.
Despite being over a year old, there are few reviews available for Stocktee. The reason for this could be a pause in operations due to the global pandemic. The reviews that are available are largely negative. Stocktee has a below-average rating of 2.3 out of 5 based on 14 reviews. The reviewers have alleged that they never received any updates from Stocktee after placing their orders. One reviewer has also stated that they received a fake tracking number. There is also another Vietnamese name mentioned as being associated with Stocktee’s PayPal account, giving credibility to the assertion that it is based in Vietnam. You can read the reviews here.
There is an extremely high likelihood that Stocktee is a scam.
Stocktee has a Trust Score of 1% on Scamadviser, which means it is extremely risky to shop on this website. You can read more about Stocktee’s Trust Score here.
The entire content of the website has been copied and is being used by at least 298 other online stores. Many of these websites seem to be part of a network of scams, which reflects badly on Stocktee. The website is selling items that possibly violate copyright laws. Though the website does contain a copyright disclaimer, it seems to be fake as it is dated 4 years before the website was created.
Though Stocktee tries to give the impression that it is an American company, there is some reason to believe that it is actually a Vietnamese website. The Facebook page (now deleted) was being run from Vietnam and the PayPal accounts used by the website carry Vietnamese names. The Facebook page was also claimed by a company named ‘Alaskan Clean Seas’, which does not seem to have any relation to Stocktee. The address provided on Stocktee’s website seems to be fake and the phone number is a VoIP number that can be used from anywhere in the world. Though the email ID is real, several angry reviewers have alleged that Stocktee did not respond to their emails and also provides fake tracking numbers. The website itself contains some reviews, but these seem to be fake as the same reviews were found on another website.
It is advisable to avoid shopping on Stocktee, as there are high chances of having a bad shopping experience.
