Is Iktops.com Legit or a Scam?
Author: Adam Collins
Iktops.com prides itself as the go-to online fashion shopping website. However, recent inquiries on ScamAdviser with many wondering if it is a scam have caught our attention. Is Iktops.com fake or a real?
Join us as discuss potential signs like huge discounts, pop-ups everywhere, and a host of customer feedback. Let’s get started, shall we?
Iktops.com Huge Discounts
When I landed at iktops.com, I noticed they offer huge discounts, a characteristic often associated with scam websites. This raised immediate red flags and prompted me to question the legitimacy of their offerings.
What caught my attention was their claim that the more items you purchase, the higher the discounts you'll receive. For instance, buying three or more items grants an additional 12% off, while purchasing four items gets you a whopping 16% discount. Furthermore, a pop-up appeared, tempting me with a "spin" draw for even more discounts.
They also have this pop-up where you can spin for even more discounts. But, it made me wonder: why are they offering so many discounts? Are the clothes up to standard? As the saying goes, when a deal seems too good to be true, it's wise to approach it with caution and conduct thorough research before making any purchases.
Customer Feedback
On their website, I noticed a lot of pop-ups with some showing happy customer feedback. The list of happy customer feedback was also repeated on their product pages. However, even though they claim the store owner verifies the reviews, a message also appears saying, ” This review was imported from an external source.”
It was when I checked reviews outside their website that I got the whole picture. On ScamAdviser, there was a host of negative customer feedback with customers complaining about a host of issues from delayed deliveries to poor products and partial refunds.
One customer notes,” I ordered a product that was not as it appeared. When I emailed to return it they told me they would only refund 50% of what I paid !”
Yet another disgruntled customer claims, “ Ordered a dress. It took weeks for it to arrive. Very poor quality product. Wanted to return. But the “customer service” e-mail address on the website came back as Failure Notice because it doesn't exist. Be aware! iktops is very untrustworthy.”
There were a host of other negative reviews which makes me doubt not only the legitimacy of iktops.com but also the validity of the positive reviews I found on their website.
Bottom Line: Is Iktops.com a Scam?
In general, there are a lot of red flags that make us doubt Iktops.com. The huge discounts found all over the website sound too good to be true. The large number of pop-ups suggests the use of high-pressure sales tactics common with scam websites.
On top of that, the reviews I found on their websites are highly suspicious, and with a notification that claims the reviews may have come from elsewhere. On ScamAdviser, I found a host of negative reviews with many claiming delayed deliveries as well as many offers wrong item sizes. There are suggestions that refunds are only partial and chances of Iktops.com being from China.
Overall, exercise caution when shopping at Iktops.com as you may have to wait for extended periods to get your products.

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
