Awesomeskulls uses several tools to ensure that pop-ups about sales are displayed when you view the site. This site uses apps to display sales, reviews and wish lists. These apps allow the seller to access and adjust reviews and sales. The website has an Alexa rank below 1 million, which shows that it is somewhat popular.
It is striking that this site launched 800 products in August 2020. The website uses a Goaffpro.com affiliate program that allows you to earn up to 8% on validated purchases. Everything on and around this program is a standard text that can be traced back to Goaffpro. It is interesting that we found no further information about people who did join this program, which we believe would be very likely to be found if this is working.
Payments can be done with Paypal and various debit / credit cards
The prices we encounter on this website seem to be in line with the market. Many articles are made in China; this can be deduced from the catalogue structure. The articles are printed with images. Image search shows that the same items with prints other than skulls are offered by different manufacturers from China. The images shows are not actual product images, but depictions of what the product is supposed to look like. Take a look at the background in the following pictures.

Social Media Profiles
Facebook - When clicking the Facebook link on the site you will be redirected to mysugarskulls.com (created 2015)
Twitter - The website takes you on Twitter to Awesome skulls store.
Contact can only be made via a form on the website and not directly with an email address. In the FAQ list, an email address is mentioned: support@awesomeskulls.com
However; on the social media channels we came across another email address, namely Mysugarskulls: support@mysugarskulls.com
Remarkably, if you click on the Facebook link on Twitter, you will be taken to a different Facebook page than the one on the website! https://www.facebook.com/awesomeskulls (created in 2016)
User Reviews
No user reviews found on Trustpilot, Site jabber, BBB.org and WebOfTrust. This is peculiar! Scamadviser reports 18 1-star reviews. The main reasons for these low rankings are:
- No delivery at all of the purchased goods
- Delivery is very slow; months between purchase and delivery is regularly reported
- Goods are of low quality and not similar to the ones shown in the webshop
Conclusion
The Trust Score on Scamadvisor is 0% mainly due to the reviews. You can read more about AwesomeSkulls' Trust Score here.
Our research showed that this website is not a 100% scam; some people do get their purchase delivered.
On the other hand; inferior quality of goods, long time between purchase and delivery, no delivery at all, no response on communications, strange organization and filling of the website and social media channels, questionable apps on the website are signals the cannot be ignored. All together we would strongly recommend you avoid AwesomeSkulls!

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
