Wearhellyhansen.com Review: Is it Legit or a Scam?
Author: Adam Collins
The internet is filled with hundreds of different products that can help you improve your life in one way or the other. Are these products what they say they are or are they a scam? This blog takes a look at Wearhellyhansen.com and tries to answer the question: Is it legit or a scam?
Wearhellyhansen.com is an online shop that sells designer clothes at a cheap price. Read on to find out what I think of it.
Wearhellyhansen.com Reviews
Wearhellyhansen.com was registered in July 2022 according to ScamAdviser, which makes it a relatively new website. This could explain why I could not find many reviews out there. The only review I found was on ScamAdviser and it was negative.
The customer is complaining that Wearhellyhansen directed him to PayPal even when the intended payment method was a credit card. The customer also claims that a week later, the credit card had fraudulent charges.
I could not find any other reviews about the site which does not do much to build the confidence of users.
Plagiarized Content
Most legit businesses will strive to have authentic content but dubious websites re-use their web content to save time and costs. When I searched for this text: “We have an entire team based in our corporate office in Montgomery, Alabama, that is dedicated to our customers and customers’ experiences!”, I found it on several other websites.
This could indicate that Wearhellyhansen.com is a part of a syndicate of dubious websites who use duplicated content. This is a common trick used by scammers who do not want to invest in quality content as most of the sites are meant to be used on a temporary basis.
Are the prices too good to be true?
Low prices are often the go-to move for scammers who want to lure unsuspecting customers with crazy offers. On Wearhellyhansen.com, I found that some of the prices are ridiculously low. For instance, “the Powderqueen Infinity Jacket – Women’s” is listed to be going for $99.00 down from $438, a staggering 77% drop.
Such a huge drop in prices is meant to look attractive to customers who will jump on without questioning. In most cases, the webshops that use this tactic rarely deliver and when they do, the products are always low quality.
Copied Helly Hansen?
I also noticed that Wearhellyhansen.com is impersonating the Helly Hansen brand. Everything about the site seems to be a carbon copy of Helly Hansen, whose domain is hellyhansen.com.au or hellyhansen.com. Customers who may not be keen may be easily tricked by such impersonating scammers.
As you may notice from the screenshots above, it can be hard to differentiate between the two as they look very similar. This is another common trick used by scammers who impersonate popular brands hoping customers don’t realize. To avoid this trap, be sure to check the URLs and watch out for any mistakes.
Bottom Line
There is a high likelihood that Wearhellyhansen.com is a scam. The characteristics we have seen overlap with what we see with most scams. The website seems to be a carbon copy of the renowned brand Helly Hansen.
The same content is found on dubious websites, which is never a good sign. The prices are too good to be true while the reviews, though not many, are negative and allege that the website is phishing credit card details.
Caution is urged when shopping at Wearhellyhansen.com. Customers may be better off shopping elsewhere on reliable websites that will give you value for money.

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
