In December 2016 I wrote a blog post about awstore.co.
They are still active on Facebook and their own website.
I had a look again, they have a new frontpage picture showing a cool phone store:
Nice store? Yes, certainly. Problem is, it’s not their store. It’s an Apple Store in Bangkok and the image is from Shutterstock:
So much to honesty.
I received also quite a lot of messages how good they are and that everything is fine.
I usually look at electronics scams, but lets have a look at online counterfeits…
At any give time there are probably 100,000 counterfeit websites on the web. They are usually new, just a few weeks old, and very often have domain names that do not match their product. They are often expired domains, or domains that are created randomly. This can not just be .COM domains, there are a large range of TLDs that are used, NL, DE, PT, PL, NO, SE, DK, CZ, IT, FR and many more.
Finally, here is an update with more #electronics_scams – as usually, most are from China. But there are also a few from other locations.
Take care and stay safe!

I few days ago ‘Reda’ ask about coreofficial.com – so I had a look.
The site is hosted on GoDaddy, so it’s most likely not from China. On their about page they say the company does iPhones since 2007 ….
.. however, the WHOIS tells us something different:
Created in December 2016 – a bit over one month old now.
I don’t think they are in China, but lets have a look where they are located … right, there is no address, no phone.
A little update to the never stopping list of #electronics_scams , as usual, most are from China. Take care!

Let’s a have a closer look at a typical China #electronics_scam site that I reported already:
http://freeshipelectronic.com
What I notice first is, that websites looks similar to 100th of other China electronics sites. They have some random images of a (Apple?) store in China, and of course plenty of electronics on display.

There is eactually no information about the company at all. But they have a hotline:
