Is Gokoayz.online Legit or a Scam? | ScamAdviser
Author: Adam Collins
The last thing you want when shopping online is to lose your money. However, scammers are perfectly disguising themselves as legit webshops, making it harder to distinguish scams.
In this review, we will discuss a website that’s been getting much attention on ScamAdviser. The website; Gokoayz.online offers a lot of products, from duvet covers to sheets to tools. Are they legit or a scam? Let’s find out, shall we?
Gokoayz or Eazer?
One of the first things I noticed is that the domain name and the name appearing on the website are different. The domain name reads Gokoayz but the name Eazer appears on the first page.
As if that’s not enough, they have listed customer@skylsinkte.com as their email address on the ‘Contact Us’ page. The email domain is again different from the website’s domain name. This is a common scammer move with the sole intention being to confuse the customers and make it hard for you to trace or even reach out. This suggests that Gokoayz.online is likely a scam.
Part of a Larger Network?
When I Google searched this phrase: “we have a simple motto: "Our reputation stems from the quality of our products". That's why we do our best to ensure our customers get their favorite products and the after-sales service they deserve”, I was shocked to see it appear on many other websites.
I found 20 websites that not only use the same text but also share a lot of design similarities which could suggest that Gokoayz is part of a larger network of scam websites.
High-Pressure Sales Tactics
I noticed that the site is using high-pressure sales tactics to force customers, albeit unknowingly, to buy its products. For starters, they claim there are a huge number of people “currently browsing our store” which is hard to verify. They also include a timer to mentally pressure you into buying a product before the so-called offer ends.
To complete the hat trick, they include a pop-up to show a customer's purchased items. The main aim of these high-pressure sales tactics is to make you rush into buying a product before the offer ends.. This is usually done by scammers to target impulse buyers.
What Customers Said
I found quite a number of reviews on ScamAdviser that are mostly negative, with many complaining of never getting the products they ordered. One such customer claims that they bought a product for Christmas and never received it.
Others claim that their packages were sent to the wrong destination and requests for refunds have proven futile.
Exaggerated Site Age
According to the information in their “About Us” section, they claim that they have been serving the “community for more than 16 years.”
However, when I checked when the domain was registered on ScamAdviser, I was shocked to see the domain was registered in November 2022. Why would a business lie about its age you ask? Well, it turns out that the older a site is, the more likely it's going to be legit. This is why scammers exaggerate the site’s age as they look more reliable.
Bottom Line
Overall, there is a high likelihood that Gokoayz.online may be a scam. There are a lot of characteristics that overlap with scam websites. The content seemed to match, word for word, with 20 other websites, while they also lie about how long the site has been around.
The domain name and emails don’t match and there is a different brand name mentioned on the site. The customer reviews are generally negative with many of the customers complaining of never getting their orders.
Caution should be exercised when shopping at Gokoayz.online.here are more reputable 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
