Wmsports.de Review: Is it a Scam or Legit Business?
Author: Adam Collins
Sport is an integral part of human life. It is a form of entertainment that helps us to stay fit and healthy. It also helps to create a sense of community and pride. It is the reason why people support their teams and players.
However, there are some people who try to take advantage of the popularity of sports by setting up scam businesses. So, when wmsports.de appeared as one of the most searched sites on ScamAdviser, we were curious to find out if its a scam or not.
What do they sell?
Wmsports.de sells football jerseys from well-known clubs like Bayern Munich, PSG, RB Leipzig Chelsea, and Juventus. The site is in Germany and any German-speaking customer would not have any difficulty navigating it.
They seem to have almost all the jerseys of all major teams which include the home, away and third kits for the upcoming season, 2022/2023.
The prices
Usually, most football teams will have their own store which sells the jerseys at the retail price. However, wmsports.de seems to be selling them at a much cheaper price.
For example, the Liverpool home jersey which is sold at the official Liverpool store for £69.95 (€82.18) is being sold at wmsports.de for only €43.95 (£37.41).
The RB Leipzig away kit which is sold for €89.95 at the official RB Leipzig store but here, it's being sold for only €43.95. The PSG home jersey is being sold at €43.95 while on the official Nike store, the same goes for €89.99.
Notice a pattern? Well, the site offers most, if not all of the jerseys at £43.95, which is a considerable drop from what official sites are selling.
This is a huge difference in price and it makes us wonder how they are able to sell them at such a low price. Could be a compromise of quality? Or are they too good to be true?
The complicated return policy
Any seasoned shopper will tell you that sometimes, you get the wrong size or colour and will need to return the item. This is where things get complicated with wmsports.de
The return policy on their website says you can return the items in the "same condition that you received it: unworn or unused, with tags attached and in the original packaging".
Sounds okay up to that point, right? Well, the biggest catch here is that customers must bear the costs of returning the products back. This seems unfair as it would cost more to ship the item back than what you paid for the product in the first place.
This has been the go-to move by many scammers who make it hard for people to return items. They use this as a way to make money off of people who ordered the wrong size or simply changed their mind about the product.
The Customer Reviews
When we visited wmsports.de, we noticed that there were some customer reviews at the bottom of the home page. But upon further investigations, the reviews seemed doctored and fake.
For instance, there was a review from Pierre Escrivant, but to our surprise, they were talking about curtains. There is no mention of curtains anywhere on the website, so it is safe to say that this review was fake.
We could only find very few external reviews about wmsports.de on other sites like ScamAdviser. There were no reviews on other sites like Trustpilot or Sitejabber. The few we got were all negative with one customer complaining that they got a wrong-size jersey but the company refused to help.
Bottom Line
Overall, there are many red flags about wmsports.de that should make anyone think twice about buying from them. The prices seem too good to be true, the return policy is complicated and the customer reviews are fake.
Anyone wishing to buy from this site should be cautious. The chances of getting the wrong product, receiving counterfeit goods or not getting a product at all are high.

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
