How do I check if this is a fake Oakley Site?

Http://www.discountoksunglasses.com/

I am not sure if this website is a small four legged mammal, because I smell a rat. The prices seem to cheap.

The FAQs did not alleviate my suspicion, when they advised "not to worry about security"….. maybe I'm being too suspicious…….any ideaz

    Gut says fake. Without even looking at it. Just from your title, if you suspect it is fake, chances are you're right.

    Do a WHOIS.

    whois.com/whois/ then domain. Type or copy paste in front of www.

    whois.com/whois/discountoksunglasses.com

    Premium brands do not need to discount their products.

    There is no such thing as an Albuquerque in FJ, let alone China. There is not state as FJ in the US. Florida is FL.

    This is just yet another Asian scammer taking the world for gullible fools trying to get a bargain.

    Agree, lots of chinglish in the product descriptions. Got to give them credit for effort though!

    The WHOIS is puts them in China.

    Interesting that the original link for the site was sent to my wifes mobile via text message. Glad I had a look at it before she got scammed.

    Chinglish is always a red flag with just about anything online. And poor English grammar and lots of unnecessary capitalisations. Magic diet pills to Nigerian 419 scams.

    Oh and 100% of unsoliciated txt messages to websites you've never heard of are scams.

    Be a bit more sceptical, ask why are they sending me this and what do they want me to do? If they want money then it's it's almost certainly going to be a scam.

    I don't think Oakley would ever spam txt Australians, they don't need to, nor never will anywhere in the world.

    Check out the 65 people that have liked them on facebook, pretty much every picture is of the same dog…

    OP if you're looking to actually buy them, get them from sunglass hut while they still have the 40% off.

    Definitely a hacked web site. It now sells snowflakes….not sunglasses.

  • Link goes elsewhere (Christian Bookshop?) now. I looked in because coincidentally I was looking at a cheap Oakley site the other day. All one price, about $20 from memory? When I looked at the description of the site it said "fake oakley sunglasses". If it looks too good to be true….

    price

    oakleys are rarely discounted!

    I can assure anyone reading this that it is impossible to buy legitimate Oakley's or RayBans for $20. This is substantially LESS than the cost price of the product so it doesn't matter if the site is not in Australia its simply impossible.

    Leonheart1 is right, your best shot is sgh family and friends.

    yeah, got some ray bans and oakleys cheap in America, in their sunglasses hut, but that was still around 50-100 USD for ones that sell for over 150 in aus!

    Oakley stores rarely have discounts on sunglasses, u might get lucky when a sunglass shop has store wide discounts!

    oakleys don't get discounts cause for sports, they are pretty much wat the professionals wear (like golf, cricket, cycling etc) no need to discount

    Op for future reference, usually when the or store name is something like "designer brand + cheap + discount etc" is fake 99.9% of the time. Things like poor English and too good to be true prices confirm it. Compare the website design to the official site, the quality of the webpages usually give it away to.

  • Definitely fake.

    Use this to guarantee real Oakleys. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/169842

  • Fake. Best deals I have seen for Oakley were via 6pm.com a US site that I've used for various things like ski clothes etc in the past. They don't ship to Australia so you need a mail forwarder. They often have very limited stock but when they have a sale or a % off code you can get good deals. Alternatively, if you know the model you are after try www.thefind.com and have a look in there. Sometimes the dodgy pirates somehow get a lookin there as well, I've found that if I look for Oakley singlasses I get nothing but pirates, if i look for Oakley Radarlock Path (the model i am interested in) I get much better results.
