The closure of Tainan Dean Department Store has ended, and online shopping is all fake! Beware of Garmin, Salvatore Ferragamo One-Page Shopping Scams

Tainan Dean Department Store closed

Dean Department Store, which has been operating in Tainan for 16 years, expired on August 29, 2022, and both bids were rejected because they were lower than the bottom bid. Therefore, Dean Department Store announced that it would close its business on June 30, 2022. Some time ago We have carried out a super sale event with 10% off for 10,000 items of closed museums.

De'an Department Store has never provided a website for online shopping, and this time is no exception. All clearing activities are carried out on the site of the department store. However, some fraudulent groups took advantage of this opportunity and created several cases of closure of De'an Department Store. A one-page shopping website with a clear name, trying to deceive people who want to participate in the special sale but can't be there!

caution! Dean Department Store has issued an announcement on Facebook, and has stopped any sales after the closure, and there is no online shopping.

Fake Dean Department Store Facebook Fan Page

Not long after Dean Department Store started its clearing activity, a name called " Yiksn.store-France-FR " appeared on Facebook, but the front door and logo of Dean Department Store were used in the cover photo and header, trying to fake Dean Department Store .

And share the link to the shopping website in the few posts of this fan, but obviously De'an does not have online shopping !

Fake Dean one-page shopping site

Click into the website and find that this is a one-page shopping website !

What is a one-page shopping network? It is a shopping website with only one page, usually without a homepage, no store introduction, and no contact information , and most of these are scams !

Usually, such websites will use extremely low prices to attract people to pick up bargains, and use cash on delivery to reduce people's vigilance, but in the end they deliver fakes or a cheap item that is completely different from what you imagined.

The website knncx[.]club not only uses the name of Dean, but also sells "Lacoste" crocodile polo shirts. In fact, there is no Lacoste in Dean department store.

We are still seeing many fake Dean Clearance shopping sites on Facebook to this day, including Maifanshi, Garmin, OSPREY mountaineering backpacks, Oster air fryer ovens…

How to Identify Fake Dean Shopping Websites

1. Check the credibility of fans

The credibility of a fan club can be observed in many ways, including whether it has been established for a period of time , the number of fans , whether the photos used are clear , and the number of posts

Taking the fake Facebook fan of Dean Department Store just now as an example, the fan only posted one post except for the post with the replacement of the head sticker and cover photo.

Through the " Transparency of Fan Page Information ", we can see that this fan club was only established in May this year, and it was established shortly after the sale started. It does not look like a company that has been in business for 16 years and is about to close down.

And two months have passed since its establishment, and the number of fans is still 0

2. Check shopping sites

One-page shopping sites have some characteristics to distinguish them:

1. Low price after discount
2. There is usually a countdown timer to urge the order
3. Payment method only has cash on delivery option
4. The website cannot link to the home page, other product pages
5. Simplified characters
6. blurry picture

You must keep your eyes open and see clearly, as long as you meet one or two of them, don't rush to place an order

3. Check the credibility of the official account

In addition to Facebook fans, some one-page shopping websites will create a Line account on the website for the public to join in order to make you think that the website has customer service. As a result, there is no one to manage it at all.

The fake shopping website that sells "Lacoste" has a Line account on it, but as soon as I joined I found out that he was still trying to fake momo (really multi-faceted), and this account has no posts at all, and it is not normal The official account will have a menu to provide some basic services, not even a headline, but this account has nearly 20,000 friends, which shows that many people have been fooled

Note: If there is a gray shield in front of the Line account name, it means it is an unauthenticated account , so be careful!
