Fake Stokomani shop selling an electric bike for 89 euros

A French-language shop whose page title ends in "Stokomani" sells a "Vélo électrique MileCity 1" (MileCity 1 electric bike) for 89.00€ instead of 300.00€, under a "Prix Déstockage" (clearance price) label and a "Stock limité – 4 articles restants" (limited stock, 4 items left) warning. It was reported on October 30, 2026, at stokomanie-france[.]com, an address with an extra "e" in the name that was registered on September 11, 2026, about seven weeks before the report. The link carried paid-advert tracking tags from Facebook.

What’s different in this version

These traits set this message apart from the usual pattern.

  1. The shop is at stokomanie-france[.]com, which adds an "e" and "-france" to the Stokomani name. The address was registered on September 11, 2026, 48 days before the report.

  2. The Stokomani name appears in the page title, while the visible top of the page shows only the green banner "+ de 200 Grandes marques aux meilleurs prix" (over 200 big brands at the best prices) and a search box.

  3. An electric bike, shown in the product photo with HiMiLES branding and a "MileCity 1" frame label, is offered at 89.00€ instead of 300.00€, about 70% off.

  4. The page adds pressure with "Prix Déstockage" (clearance price) and "Stock limité – 4 articles restants" (limited stock, 4 items left), and shows "19 Avis" (19 reviews).

  5. The reported link carried paid-advert tracking tags (utm_medium=paid, utm_source=fb) and a Facebook click identifier (fbclid), so the visitor most likely arrived from a Facebook advert.

  6. The site runs on a standard WooCommerce shop template. The capture shows only the product page, so the checkout and the payment details it asks for were not recorded.

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.
