What’s different in this version

These traits set this message apart from the usual pattern.

  1. Open Graph site name and title say SportsChek-CA. The visible storefront name on the capture is unisexclothes-ca. The shop sits on summer-freturedoffers[.]shop.

  2. Featured items show red tags from about 74% to 87% off. Examples: Zip Cardigan Vintage Jacket CA$43.32 (78.34% off); American trendy autumn and winter sweatshirt CA$26.93 (86.53% off); Handsome heavyweight gray fake two-piece CA$27.39 (86.3% off). Each shows a crossed-out CA$200.00 comparison price.

  3. Product titles are generic apparel wording. The top menu lists UGG, Nike, Adidas, On, Hoka One One, Asics, Yeti, Stanley and Carhartt names.

  4. Campaign cmp-0f37db336f78 groups this capture with 14 other domains (22 captures since August 4, 2026) that share the same first-party JavaScript bundle, including Adidas-, Nike-, Tommy-, Calvin Klein-, Zara-, Victoria's Secret- and Ralph Lauren-named shops.

  5. The page asks for an email address for sign-up. Checkout and payment pages were not captured. Payment method, card collection and fulfilment are unknown. Delivery channel is unknown.

How this scam works

  1. 1

    Step 1: A shop appears at an address that carries a familiar retailer's name without being that retailer's website. The name is often placed to the left of the real address, so it reads correctly at a glance.

  2. 2

    Step 2: The page copies the retailer's wordmark, colours and footer closely enough to pass a glance, including a copyright line in the real company's name.

  3. 3

    Step 3: The goods on sale do not match the retailer: a clothing brand's shop offering designer handbags, phones, drones or car parts, with product text scraped from wholesale listings.

  4. 4

    Step 4: The site behaves like a normal shop. It offers accounts, a basket, orders and a customer service chat, which is what makes a shopper willing to type things into it.

  5. 5

    Step 5: Anything entered goes to whoever runs the site rather than to the retailer, because the retailer has nothing to do with it.

✓ Do this

  • Read the web address from the right. The real site is the last part before the first single slash, and a brand name in front of it is just a word somebody chose.
  • Go to the shop the way you normally would, through its own app or by typing its address yourself, and see whether the same offer exists there.
  • If you have already paid, tell your bank or card provider straight away and ask about a chargeback.
  • If you reused a password on the fake shop, change it everywhere else you use it, from a device you trust.

✗ Avoid this

  • Do not judge a shop by whether it looks right, or by a safety checker finding nothing wrong. A copy can be good enough to pass both.
  • Do not assume a padlock or 'https' means a shop is genuine. It only means the connection is private, not that the shop is.
  • Do not enter a card, an address or a password on a shop you reached from a link, before you have checked the address.
  • Do not trust a brand's logo, a copyright line, or a long list of well-known names on the page. All of those are copied in a few minutes.
