    Hey,

    Just wondering if I could get some advice. My brother ordered some stuff from anf-dublin.com and received no booking order. He used my mothers visa card.

    Tbh, I don't think it's looking good. My mother sent an e-mail and it was replied to using a hotmail account and from the message it looked like the original message was forwarded from a gmail account to the hotmail account before being replied to. The hotmail account had nothing to do with Abercrombie.

    I think that it was a scam but not sure. Has anyone used this website before?

    Prices too good to be true
    Hidden domain registration details
    No postal address
    Copied look and feel but different site construction under the bonnet

    From the genuine Abercrombie and Fitch website's Brand Protection page and (not so) strangely missing from anf-dublin:
    To purchase genuine Abercrombie & Fitch gear online visit our website, Abercrombie.com. From anywhere in the world this site will direct you to your country specific site. No other website is authorized to sell Abercrombie & Fitch merchandise. Don't be fooled by the counterfeiters that attempt to copy the look of our website by stealing our images and content or by including our name within their domain address.

    Be forewarned that if counterfeiters are willing to steal from Abercrombie & Fitch you run the same risk whenever you provide counterfeit websites with your email address, personal information and credit card details.


    So anf-dublin is very likely a scam or counterfeit site. Try to get a chargeback from your bank.

    Yeah, as I thought. Got the card cancelled anyway just in case.

    Bank said it was paid to a chinese company. WonFortune or something.

    I seen another site www.afdublins.com/ seem to be selling fake abercrombie gear, so I emailed them on their "contact us" page to ask them of the legitimacy of their products. Stuff looks good, but with these sites it's just never safe. Then again, I prob shouldn't of provided my email address in their "contact us" section, they prob have some chinese computer genius trying to hack me right now..oh well!!

    Whois(domain registration) is chinese-based.

    100% scam.

    Should note that the clothes did actually come but are obviously fake. They came from China, as suspected.

    You were lucky to get them so, customs have the right to confiscate & destroy fakes.
