Although we are almost Christmas, if we are on Facebook with a page that sells “handmade” sandals at half price, we will probably launch to buy that chollazo to release them next summer.But, wait, why do they have a 50%reduction?Although they ensure on their website that they are liquidation, do not always trust these discounts.
There are many times that you have asked us how to know if a web page is reliable.Well, be careful!Because Leather Chile gathers many characteristics that must make us distrust: comments from people who have not received the order, do not indicate where the company is registered, the images have been obtained from platforms such as Amazon or Aliexpress, they have copied and attached the information of the companyof other web pages etc.
Same modus operandi that the supposed pages of ghost jewelry
In damn.This is already talking about the ghost jewelry network that was announced on Facebook.There were several identical pages that under the liquidation excuse per collection closure, sold jewelry at half price.
We have verified that not only the modus operandi is the same.They are also the texts that we find inside these pages as well as the design, images obtained from the Internet, the date of creation of the website, etc..
For example, let's see the text at the bottom of essence jewelry (one of the pages we alert to you) and Leather Chile.If we look, it is almost identical.
Although they claim to be in Chile, they try to attract customers in Spain
Premium footwear leather (www.Arochile.com) Indicates on their website that they make free shipments to Chile.However, we see how they try to get the attention of the Spanish public in several ways.
On the one hand, they say they send with Correos Spain, although later they say they do it with Chilexpress, a Chilean private parcel company.
Another way in which Spanish users try to buy is through pop-ups (emerging windows), as did the jewelry network, in which they indicate from where they would supposedly buy users.If we look, in all pop-ups it appears that the buyer is always from a city in Spain: Granada, Seville, Alcorcón, Alicante, Mallorca, Girona or Madrid are some of those that appear.
The web was created last September
On its page we can only find 50% reduced footwear for, supposedly, to be in liquidation by collection closure.However, we do not find seasonal shoes or have no discount.
Another important detail is that, if we use the Dondominium tool we see that the website was created last September.That is, that supposed liquidation would be producing when just two months ago that they created the web.
The photos of the footwear they sell can be found on web pages such as Amazon or Aliexpress
On this page we can find a multitude of women's shoes, all with a 50% reduction.
But if we do an inverse search for one of the sandals, chosen at random, we can see that the photos are the same that appear on Amazon Mexico.While on this website, the reduction applied, almost 32 euros would cost, on the platform they would be worth more than 42 euros (1,027.99 Mexican pesos).
Another design, Siena sandals, we find them in Aliexpress for a price that ranges between 7 and 8 euros.Instead on the web leather footwear they sell us for almost 32 euros (29.990 Chilean pesos).
The clients: Testimonies with photos of image banks
This page aims to obtain the trust of the users who visit it by offering supposed testimonies of apparently satisfied clients as we see in comments such as “I love my new leather sandals.I recommend 100% shoes, the delivery time was very fast and the unbeatable service ”.
But if we do an inverse search of the image that appears just above the comments, we can see that the alleged clients are actually image banks models.
For example, one of them can be found in the Facebook profile of the “Dental Chic” clinic, located in Quito, Ecuador, or on the website of the Escape Clue Hunter Madrid, as a comment from another alleged user.
The image of Susana Sarmiento, another alleged sandals buyer, has also been used on the "Pedrosa Clinic" website, which is located in Granada.
The website does not offer information about the company
Although they have sections of "privacy policy", "refund policy" or "terms of service", they lack "legal notice" and it is unknown who is behind the company or in which country and domicile this is located.As they have already explained to Damn.It is cybersecurity experts, it is an aspect that must make us distrust and we will not have who to claim in case we do not receive the order.
The website does have an email address ([Email Protected]).However, we have repeatedly written and have not responded to us, although they ensure that customer service is available "Monday to Saturday from 08:00 to 20:00".
The Facebook page was created in 2012, has changed its name in October 2021 and is managed from Spain
"Leather Chile" or "Calzado Leather" also has a page on Facebook.In fact, we have been able to find out that it was created in 2012 under the name "endless illusions" and last October it happened to have the current name, as we can see in the tab "Transparency of the page".It also indicates that it is administered from Spain.
This page offers another email address ([Email Protected]).Damn.This is also written to this address asking them if the website was in operation and the answer has been affirmative.In addition, we have asked to tell us in which country the company is.They claim that "they are a 100% online store" but they have not provided us with more information about it.
Comments from buyers who claim not to have received the order
If we take a look at users' comments on the page of this social network, which already has more than 3.000 followers, we can find that there is discontent among buyers."I bought several days ago and they still don't get to me," said a user, "I still bought and still nothing," said another.
Aunque enDamn.This we have told you that there are times when we can strain it with false reviews, in general, experts explain that negative comments can be an indicator that must make us doubt the legitimacy of a page.
What can we do to avoid being victims of these pages?
Before buying in an online store it is important that you follow these tips:
- Verifica que la página sea segura. Comprueba siempre que la URL empieza por “https” y posee el sello de seguridad y confianza.
- Desconfía si la página web no tiene Aviso Legal en la que se incluya información sobre la empresa, condiciones de venta y de devolución y reclamaciones, entre otros requisitos. Una característica que transmite fiabilidad de una marca o empresa, es que aparezca la ubicación de la misma y un teléfono de contacto. En este artículo te contamos cómo protegerte de las estafas al hacer compras online.
- Busca información si desconoces la marca. Si no conoces la marca que te intenta vender el producto, antes de proceder a la compra, asegúrate de qué marca se trata, busca en internet qué valoraciones, opiniones y experiencias tienen otros usuarios.
- Presta atención a la redacción de los textos y el diseño de la página web. Si la página web que te vende el producto contiene faltas de ortografía graves o tiene un diseño dudoso, desconfía porque estas son algunas de las características que suelen poseer las páginas web que practican la técnica del “phishing”. Fíjate también en la composición de la página: que esta tenga hipervínculos que te lleven a otra sección y que las imágenes tengan calidad.
- Asegúrate que las formas de pago son acordes a tus intereses y seguros. No envíes dinero en efectivo. Además, si posees una tarjeta de uso exclusivo para realizar pagos en internet, utiliza esta, en lugar de la corriente.
- No te fíes si consideras que un producto tiene un precio muy por debajo de otros productos similares con las mismas características. Si se trata de una oferta “demasiado atractiva”, infórmate del por qué de esta diferencia de precio.
If after reviewing these steps you still do not trust the website or brand that sells the product, look for other alternatives that offer you a product with similar characteristics.
If you have bought on a website and you have never received the order and the company has not responded, write to [email protects] telling us your case.
