The internet is filled with hundreds of different products that can help you improve your life in one way or the other. Are these products what they say they are or are they a scam? This blog takes a look at Wearhellyhansen.com and tries to answer the question: Is it legit or a scam?
Wearhellyhansen.com is an online shop that sells designer clothes at a cheap price. Read on to find out what I think of it.
Wearhellyhansen.com was registered in July 2022 according to ScamAdviser, which makes it a relatively new website. This could explain why I could not find many reviews out there. The only review I found was on ScamAdviser and it was negative.
The customer is complaining that Wearhellyhansen directed him to PayPal even when the intended payment method was a credit card. The customer also claims that a week later, the credit card had fraudulent charges.
I could not find any other reviews about the site which does not do much to build the confidence of users.
Most legit businesses will strive to have authentic content but dubious websites re-use their web content to save time and costs. When I searched for this text: “We have an entire team based in our corporate office in Montgomery, Alabama, that is dedicated to our customers and customers’ experiences!”, I found it on several other websites.
This could indicate that Wearhellyhansen.com is a part of a syndicate of dubious websites who use duplicated content. This is a common trick used by scammers who do not want to invest in quality content as most of the sites are meant to be used on a temporary basis.
Low prices are often the go-to move for scammers who want to lure unsuspecting customers with crazy offers. On Wearhellyhansen.com, I found that some of the prices are ridiculously low. For instance, “the Powderqueen Infinity Jacket – Women’s” is listed to be going for $99.00 down from $438, a staggering 77% drop.
Such a huge drop in prices is meant to look attractive to customers who will jump on without questioning. In most cases, the webshops that use this tactic rarely deliver and when they do, the products are always low quality.
I also noticed that Wearhellyhansen.com is impersonating the Helly Hansen brand. Everything about the site seems to be a carbon copy of Helly Hansen, whose domain is hellyhansen.com.au or hellyhansen.com. Customers who may not be keen may be easily tricked by such impersonating scammers.
As you may notice from the screenshots above, it can be hard to differentiate between the two as they look very similar. This is another common trick used by scammers who impersonate popular brands hoping customers don’t realize. To avoid this trap, be sure to check the URLs and watch out for any mistakes.
There is a high likelihood that Wearhellyhansen.com is a scam. The characteristics we have seen overlap with what we see with most scams. The website seems to be a carbon copy of the renowned brand Helly Hansen.
The same content is found on dubious websites, which is never a good sign. The prices are too good to be true while the reviews, though not many, are negative and allege that the website is phishing credit card details.
Caution is urged when shopping at Wearhellyhansen.com. Customers may be better off shopping elsewhere on reliable websites that will give you value for money.
