Is Oroskin.co Legit or a Fraud?
Author: Adam Collins
Oroskin.co claims to be World's #1 IPL Hair Removal Company. As the site was among the top searched sites on ScamAdviser, we decided to take a look and write this review. New products in the market are usually a breath of fresh air as they help improve previous products. But, this is also a rich hunting ground for scammers and dubious websites.
Copied content?
Any legit website will strive to have original content that sets them apart from others. Authentic content is also important as Google and other search engines will thoroughly punish copied content.
When I searched some of the content on the “About Us” page, I was shocked to see the text appearing on many other websites. In particular, I searched this phrase;
“...We pride ourselves in being experts in all things beauty tech. We understand how intimate the process of hair removal can be and we don’t take that lightly.”
The same phrase appears on many other sites like Floret Skin, Secretreza, and Happy Skin Co.
Why would a serious business copy from others? Interestingly, this is a common trick used by scammers to quickly create new websites by duplicating the same text over and over.
Where are the reviews?
It’s easier for a company to use fake reviews on their website as there is no way of authenticating them. However, with other review websites like Sitejabber, MyWOT, or Trustpilot, it's more genuine as the said company does not have any control over the reviews.
What I found intriguing was there were no reviews on other sites but on Oroskin.co, there were over 500 reviews, most of which were very positive. On Facebook, the site has an active social media presence with a Facebook page having been started in April 2021. But there are no comments on their posts.
Unbelievable discounts
Their products all have huge discounts that raise a few eyebrows. Don’t get it wrong, offering discounts is not a wrong move. But when the discounts are as high as 50%, we are compelled to ask how the company is meeting its operational costs. They also offer free shipping worldwide, which would eat into their profits. We often see websites falsely inflating the prices of cheap goods and then offering steep discounts to make them seem like a good value.
Bottom Line
In conclusion, there are a lot of characteristics that overlap with what we see with other scams.
The items are supposedly sold at huge discounts and with free shipping, you start to wonder if the deal is too good to be true. There are no reviews outside the website with the chances of being manipulated very high. Caution is to be exercised while shopping on this site. There are many more reliable and trusted websites where you can get hair removal 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
