Hey Guys,
I am after a soccer boot and found this website called pro-kicks-australia, prices are pretty cheap compared.
This is the first time I am buying a soccer boot. Any experienced online buyers?
Any reviews? thanks very much
Is anyone here who purchased a boot from them?
Malwarebytes blocks it for me which cannot be a good sign.
Scamwatch and Which.co.uk has a few 'commonsense' tips on how to spot a fake shopping site.

I can tell you straight away that it's fake because:
The Contact Us / About Us page is just a bunch of marketing drivel with no email, address, contact number or even somebody's name.
The website is built with minimal effort and it lacks maintenance. Many of the most important links links are dead and give you a 'whoops, page not found'. When you have something to hide, you can always fall back on a broken web page for not giving you the right information…
Many spelling + grammar errors (e.g "All order are Free shipping!") and copied/pasted phrases. There is almost no product description on any of the items. Obviously, there is no one around to go fix the website when something breaks — the site is probably built by one person who hasn't enough time to patch things up. It's overall a very low-effort, zero maintenance website that is 'setup and forget'.
google "pro-kicks-australia" reviews
There can be fake reviews, for example citymove got fined twice for fake review.

How Can I Know if a Shopping Website Is Fake?
When you order stuff and it never turns up.
This seems fake but your account is old
Hmm
