Is this a scam site ??

[LaurieFairyCake]

It's not on trust pilot but it looks legit - is on Facebook

Mintoutletuk.com

I'm thinking it's dodgy even though all branding is Mint Velvet?

type in x reviews and you’ll find out

Or go to trust pilot

Just a glance at the "Faq" page throws up several red flags!

There was a similar one for Craghoppers recently as well - crazy prices not aligned with their proper website, but very well done and nearly fooled my (usually fairly savvy) uncle.

And then there's this

And the Returns and Refunds page is just laughable!

It's not on trust pilot

I would avoid then

No, I mean there's no reviews or listing on trust pilot

Sorry if that's not clear

Most random websites on FB are scams, avoid.

I wouldn't go near it.

Thanks for that, I can't find it at all on trust pilot - it's likely I don't know how to use it as I've put in the full name and nothing comes up

So the site I posted about is called Mintoutletuk.com

The one reviewed on trust pilot is Mintukoutlet - so it's no wonder I wouldn't have found it as not the same

Probably still a scam though

Not probably.

Definitely.

I cannot believe people are still falling for these sites. In fact, it's almost as if people pop on here to helpfully link to the sites, with the wide-eyed "is this real" posts, in the hope suckers will see ££££ and think they are getting a bargain.

The website address is wrong. Anything UK based is usually .co.uk
Something being uk.com is usually dodgy, pretending to be UK but not.

How annoying it's a scam - Facebook really shouldn't be providing links to the items - the Mint Velvet branding is literally on the Facebook page

How the hell do they get away with this shit !

Yes

I work for a company where we buy from dodgy Facebook ads and report what happens. That one is a scam site. You can usually spot them with the about us/shipping page.

I was fooled by a Sketchers one. I’m usually really good at checking. My email was sold on to all manner of dodgy people. The spam was ridiculous at one point.

Anything with UK.com at the end lately is to be avoided. Fatface and CathKidston have been "done" with the same sort of thing.

Ooh, those screenshots are a proofreader's dream

@AllLopsided they're a very clear indicator that something's not quite right, aren't they?

The part about declined payments is concerning, and suggests this might 'somehow' happen commonly. An easy way to get a lot of financial information from someone.
