Is Soccerarmor.com Legit or a Scam?
Author: Adam Collins
There has been a lot of interest in Soccerarmor.com on ScamAdviser which prompted us to write this review. With a surge of replica sports jerseys in the world, there is an increase in fake online stores that sell sports merchandise.
So, is Soccerarmor.com legit or is it a scam that will take your hard-earned money and disappear? Let’s find out, shall we?
The Difference in Prices
One of the things I notice is that they are selling their products at a lower price than the soccer clubs or official manufacturers' shops. For instance, Soccerarmor is selling the ARSENAL 22/23 Away Jersey for only €89.99.
The same goes for €126.59 ($140) on the official Adidas store and the official Arsenal Store sells the same for €120.00. The huge price gap does not help build customer confidence.
Mixed Customer Reviews
The customer reviews are quite conflicting with some praising the web store for the products while others are complaining that they never got their products. On ScamAdviser, the store has a rating of 3.7 / 5 based on 11 reviews. Some are praising the store for what they term as good customer service while also pointing to their attention to detail.
On the other hand, there are a lot of negative reviews with some customers complaining that they never got the products they ordered or it took way longer than expected.
Interestingly, on the website, they claim to have a long list of “happy customers“ many of whom are leaving 5-stars. However, there is no way of verifying these customer testimonials on their website.
Furthermore, I found that there are no other reviews on sites like Trustpilot and MyWOT which is highly suspicious.
Where are they Based?
On the Website, they claim that they are based both in Germany and Cyprus.
On this address, Friedrichstr. 114A 10117, Berlin Berlin Germany, we could not find anything that relates to Soccerarmor.com. In fact, the said address is also claimed by several other companies.
Again, this is highly suspicious and does not help build the already fragile customer confidence.
Bottom Line
Overall, we have doubts about Soccerarmor.com. There are some red flags that are hard to ignore. Though there are a number of happy customer reviews, there are others who have complained that their orders took very long to arrive or did not arrive at all.
The prices of some of the jerseys are lower than the official prices in the manufacturer’s and clubs' stores. One of Soccerarmor’s listed addresses is also claimed by many other websites and there is no way of telling if the store is actually based there. In general, caution should be exercised when shopping at Soccerarmor.com.

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
