Boughloaf.com Review: Is it Legit or Fraud?
Author: Adam Collins
In a quest to get bargain deals, most online shoppers have ended up in the jaws of scammers. Here, we will have an in-depth look at one site, Boughloaf.com which has been offering products at low prices.
Boughloaf.com is an online store that claims to offer products that you need every day and they also claim to “help surface innovations in tech, design, and much more, all before they go mainstream.” Is Boughloaf.com legit or a scam? Let’s find out, shall we?
Exaggerated Numbers?
According to the information I found in the “About Us” section, they claim to have over 1 million users in 235 countries and territories.
However, according to Whois.com and ScamAdviser, Boughloaf was registered on December 25, 2022. For a website that was registered barely two months ago, having over 1 million users feels like a stretch. Therefore, it feels like false information written to appear older, popular, and legitimate.
Same Price for Every Product
Checking out most of the products on Boughloaf.com, one quickly notes the similarity in prices. Most, if not all, of the products, are quoted at £8.13 irrespective of the type of product.
Whether it's a knitted top or hoodie, all the products we found were going for £8.13. This is peculiar and does little to boost the confidence of users especially when you consider the difference in styles.
Interestingly, they also include another offer of getting more discounts when you buy more items. On top of that, they seem to use high-pressure sales tactics. For instance, they include a timer which is meant to psychologically pressure you into buying a product. They also indicate the number of people who are supposedly “viewing” the product. All this is common with scam sites and is meant to rush you into committing to buy.
Boughloaf Customer Reviews
For a webshop with “more than 1 million strong”, I could barely find any reviews about the site. The only review I found was on ScamAdviser and it was negative with the user doubting the legitimacy of Boughloaf.com.
I could not find any other reviews about Boughloaf.com on other popular review sites like Trustpilot and MyWOT. This does little to boost the already dwindling confidence in the webshop.
Bottom Line
Overall, I found a lot of red flags which could indicate that Boughloaf.com is likely a scam. Most of the characteristics overlap with scam websites. They claim to have over a million users, yet the domain was only registered a few months ago. There aren’t many reviews about the site and the one I found was negative. They seem to list all products at the same price which is highly suspicious. The use of high-pressure sales tactics is synonymous with scammy online stores.
Clearly, caution is needed when shopping at Boughloaf.com as its legitimacy is doubtful at best. Customers can shop at more reliable fashion shopping sites out there.

As the influence of the internet rises, so does the prevalence of online scams. There are fraudsters making all kinds of claims to trap victims online - from fake investment opportunities to online stores - and the internet allows them to operate from any part of the world with anonymity. The ability to spot online scams is an important skill to have as the virtual world is increasingly becoming a part of every facet of our lives. The below tips will help you identify the signs which can indicate that a website could be a scam. Common Sense: Too Good To Be True When looking for goods online, a great deal can be very enticing. A Gucci bag or a new iPhone for half the price? Who wouldn’t want to grab such a deal? Scammers know this too and try to take advantage of the fact. If an online deal looks too good to be true, think twice and double-check things. The easiest way to do this is to simply check out the same product at competing websites (that you trust). If the difference in prices is huge, it might be better to double-check the rest of the website. Check Out the Social Media Links Social media is a core part of ecommerce businesses these days and consumers often expect online shops to have a social media presence. Scammers know this and often insert logos of social media sites on their websites. Scratching beneath the surface often reveals this fu
So the worst has come to pass - you realise you parted with your money too fast, and the site you used was a scam - what now? Well first of all, don’t despair!! If you think you have been scammed, the first port of call when having an issue is to simply ask for a refund. This is the first and easiest step to determine whether you are dealing with a genuine company or scammers. Sadly, getting your money back from a scammer is not as simple as just asking. If you are indeed dealing with scammers, the procedure (and chance) of getting your money back varies depending on the payment method you used. PayPal Debit card/Credit card Bank transfer Wire transfer Google Pay Bitcoin PayPal If you used PayPal, you have a strong chance of getting your money back if you were scammed. On their website, you can file a dispute within 180 calendar days of your purchase. Conditions to file a dispute: The simplest situation is that you ordered from an online store and it has not arrived. In this case this is what PayPal states: "If your order never shows up and the seller can't provide proof of shipment or delivery, you'll get a full refund. It's that simple." The scammer has sent you a completely different item. For example, you ordered a PlayStation 4, but instead received only a Playstation controller. The condition of the item was misrepresented on the product page. This could be the
