Marveljoy Drone

Hi all,

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this, mods please remove if its not allowed.

Anyway I was wondering if anybody had heard of the above company. I have been looking for a camera drone and lo and behold this popped up as a sponsored link on my Instagram this morning. I haven't heard of the website before and to be honest I am a bit wary, the price, reviews etc all look a bit too good. And as they say, if it looks too good to be true it probably is.

Even a quick Google of the company doesn't seem to bring up much info.

I have checked some of the comments and reviews, and some people have commented mentioning other sites where the same drone can be bought. When I've checked those sites it doesn't seem to be the same drone, which adds to my skepticism.

Here's the link

The “sale” has a 10 min countdown..

I wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole..

Doesn’t mean it’s not genuine though..

A Google search brings up a few links to Reddit where they seem to think it's a scam site. Young domain, location hidden and prices too good to be true. A Mavic Air for $99? I'd avoid like the plague, but that's just me!

Definitely a scam site. You may receive a drone, it won't be a Mavic or a spark though..

Thanks for the replies, pretty much guessed it wasn't legit. Found the following video on twitter, seems like their MO is to send you a drone but it's not a Mavic

Thanks again

Their mission statement- and its lack of English skills should be a giveaway:

Trust come from quality. We starts with what the customer required and with the satisfied end.

For such an obviously scam site- the website itself is actually put together surprisingly well. If the person who did their website for them- put their talents to legitimate use- they'd make a tidy profit. I scraped their website and had a look at the code- its incredibly neat and tidy.

There are dozens if not hundreds of those sites doing mass advertising, bar the website name they are all identical - all scam
Even if you get the product it's rubbish

Its a shopify site, they didn't write any of it.
