Is Outletseur.com a Scam or Legit?
Author: Adam Collins
Picture this, you want to buy a sweater and you lay your eyes on an online store claiming to sell sweaters at throw-away prices. Would you jump straight in or would you do your due diligence?
On ScamAdviser, most people have been wondering whether they should trust Outletseur.com which is an online store that sells sweaters among other things. This piqued our curiosity and led us to this review. Read on as we discuss several issues such as copied content, too-good-to-be-true deals, and questionable owner claims.
Outletseur.com’s Copied Content
It has become common to see scam websites using the same content over and over again. With this in mind, I checked out if Outletseur.com is using duplicated content. On their About Us page, I noticed this phrase; “We are a professional and reliable online shopping website providing a variety of hot selling products with reasonable prices and ship them globally.”
I was stunned to see the same text appear on multiple other websites such as Erik-online.company.site and Jerseyscustoms.com. We have covered websites that use duplicated content in the past such as Fritual.com and Sellbra.com.
The Real Owners of Outletseur.com
On the Contact Us page, they claim to be owned by Sayhi International Co., Limited, which interestingly, is in the form of a picture. This is a common characteristic of dubious websites that simply want to make it harder for you to search about the company.
Sayhi International Co., Limited, which is registered in the UK, is also claimed by hundreds of other websites such as Affbuying.com, Aleotric.com, and Aliewear.com. This could suggest that they are part of a larger scam network. It is also likely that Sayhi International Co., Limited is a shell company that is being used to mask the identity of real owners of websites such as Outletseur.com.
Huge Discounts
Though businesses can use discounts as a form of marketing when a deal gets too good to be true, it raises eyebrows. On Outletseur.com, I noticed that most, if not all of their products, come with huge discounts.
Most scammers will use huge discounts as a way of attracting users, especially bargain hunters with no intention of delivering the products.
Limited Customer Reviews
When I checked for reviews online, I came back empty as there were no reviews on popular websites such as Trustpilot and ScamAdviser. However, this does not really mean it's a scam but does not fill the users with confidence.
Order the Wrong Product? Be Sure to Get Stuck With It
I noticed that Outletseur.com is using a complicated return policy where users have to pay return shipping costs. This overlaps with dubious websites which complicate matters to make it harder for customers to return defective, damaged, or wrong products.
Bottom Line: Is Outletseur.com a Scam?
Overall, there is a high possibility that Outletseur.com may be a scam. There are a lot of red flags that cast doubt on its legitimacy. For starters, there are a lot of discounts on most of their items and as they say, when a deal is too good, think twice. The content seems to match, word for word, with other dubious websites which could suggest they are part of a scam network.
Outletseur.com claims to be owned by Sayhi International Co., Limited which is also claimed by hundreds of other websites which further damages user confidence. The confidence further dips with a lack of customer feedback.
It is prudent to exercise caution when shopping at Outletseur.com. Out there, there are more reliable and reputable online marketplaces and online fashion stores.

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
