3 signs of scam wig stores + 5 things you can do to protect yourself and others [Spread the word!]

[@barbaraanderson3532]

If it seems to good to be true, IT IS!

[@CysterWigs]

Yes!

[@shelly410]

Heather, thank you for doing this! So important to get the word out. These people will just not go away! You are right that even a curiosity buy encourages them to keep setting up these scams. I think another thing folks should worry about is that these scammers could just be trolling for credit card info as another way to rip people off. You are doing a great public service by making videos like this. Kudos to you! Shelly

[@CysterWigs]

Thank you so much Shelly! You are absolutely amazing! Thanks again for the comment!

Thank you for posting. Someone new to wigs may not even know 3 for $50 is a "too good to be true" price. When I first started buying wigs, I had no idea what wigs should cost. I had no idea why one wig is $125 while another one is $450. I had no idea what terms like "basic cap" or "lace front" meant. So it's really easy for scammers to rip off someone who is new to wearing wigs and won't see the red flags.

Exactly! Thank you for watching! 😘 - CysterWigs Team

Thank you Heather for this video! I was so angry when the site with your video opened up I knew this was scam right away!! Thanks for educating the community. 3 for $50 I do admit there is part of me that is curious to see how bad they would be.

[@CysterWigs]

Thanks so much Kathy for the comment! You are amazing!

I remember when l was first looking into wigs l was looking at these sort of pages. Then a friend told me not to trust what you believe to be too good to be true because it most probably is!... I'm so glad l listened to her and didn't buy from them.... She steered me in the right direction and told me of some reputable places to buy from. You are doing a good job by doing this too Heather, it's so easy to be taken in by these websites if you know nothing about wigs.. Thanks

[@CysterWigs]

I am so glad you didnt buy from them either. We love you over here.

[@cysterwigsclassicwigreview9593]

It's almost as if the more popular both wigs and online shopping become, the more this stuff tends to happen. We have to protect ourselves as wig buyers, for sure!

[@CysterWigs]

Yes! You are so right. Thanks so much for commenting!

[@sdraper2011]

Good grief, how frustrating.

[@CysterWigs]

Tell me about it!

[@kathleensimonds1330]

Sad that people do this.

[@CysterWigs]

Tell me about it!

[@Teds_Wig_Emporium]

Yes! My mum recently “fell” in love with a wig on a similar site and kept going on despite me telling her it was a fake site! Angry 😠 face! 😝

[@CysterWigs]

Ohhh no! - CysterWigs Team

[@malindasmith3496]

If it’s too good to be true it probably is!

[@CysterWigs]

Yes!!

[@KathleenRyanArt]

Bravo Heather...👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@CysterWigs]

Thank you!

[@mryan4969]

i used to see a lot of the youtube wig community's faces on sites like ebay and allibaba too. and ofc without any credit or listing brandnames. who knows what the customer is actually getting.

[@CysterWigs]

Exactly. You have to be so careful.

[@bomisosatori9906]

So bad. I did buy from a place like this before I knew any better. I got a topper in human hair and when I complained they said we could never sell human hair at this low price....and we would never sell it like that either. And I sent them a screenshot of their own sales page where it says real human hair.....duh.....laffs. Also they never have feedbacks and contact them its usually an email. I bought from another place also with USA address, as I was told to not get things from china and make sure it was a good page with feedback. Yet when I received it it came from China - and the review was for someone else's store all together..... - so they usually scam you on every end

[@CysterWigs]

You are so right. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@patriciablankenbaker8817]

Great info video! Thanks!

[@CysterWigs]

You are welcome!

[@planetjazzy]

Thank you Heather

[@CysterWigs]

You are very welcome!

[@macc3239]

I tried to search for the website today and it doesnt seem to be there any longer

[@CysterWigs]

[ Whoops! Meant to edit this comment, and accidentally deleted it! - Nigel ] That's good to know, Mac, thank you! Only problem is, I can gaurantee you they're probably going to set up again with a new website and a new name and more stolen images, and try to defraud more innocent people looking for a bargain. This is a constant battle, I'm afraid.

[@Jillybeans140]

When I see these sites, I report, report, report!! I must have reported 10 of them last week!! How can FB allow this?

[@CysterWigs]

That is a great question. Thank you so much for sharing this with me!

[@helenwilliams4289]

Couldn't believe it when an elderly friend who has nothing to do with wigs recd this scam on her Facebook feed - she shared with me thinking I'd be thrilled 3/$50.00!!.... i immediately reported/blocked etc. Just in case... this one had a taz photo btw

[@CysterWigs]

Thank you so much for this comment! I hope you are doing fantastic Helen!

[@vickieb243]

Thank you!

[@CysterWigs]

You are very welcome!

[@Wigslay]

One more thing, I will make sure to do a video about this as well. Especially since they used my photo.

[@CysterWigs]

Thanks for commenting NIchole!! You rock!

[@Wigslay]

My photo is used on their site too. A subscriber notified me about it. They used my photo for their “ long red body wave wig”. Also, an FYI, www.webwigstore.com is also a scam site. They send you cheap knock offs. I did a whole video on it, you might want to do the same.

[@CysterWigs]

Thank you so much for sharing this!

[@sylviahoedeman2315]

Wigsis.nl is also scam. Maybe you already know but thought i let you know. Found This shop few days ago.

[@sylviahoedeman2315]

Found another one. Lightinthebox.com

[@CysterWigs]

Thanks for spreading those warnings, Sylvia! - Nigel

[@sylviahoedeman2315]

You're welcome

[@LizLyonsPhD]

Thank you for doing this, Heather. Only those completely new to wigs would fall for this, based on the prices alone. Also, not that I want to help these crooks, but the pronunciation is likely "Does It". 💖👩🏻

[@CysterWigs]

Thanks LIz for the comment! I hope you are doing great today!
