So many fraudulent websites.

[JmNc]

Hi my name is Joseph, 
 

I have only been collecting for a couple of years now and I can’t think of any other product that attracts scammers like liquor does. My idea is to create a website that lists all of these fake websites. If a company in question can’t produce a FaceTime call showing their products then they go onto the website list. 
 

The biggest red flags that I have found are the following:

 

The phone number goes straight to voicemail that is a Google voice recorder.

 

They don’t accept credit cards.
 

Generic advertising photos.   
 

Priced below market value. 
 

They Stock very hard to find bottles. 

 

 

Here are two examples.  
 

https://hopkinsliquorcollection.com 

 

https://www.liquorgurushop.com

 

Is there a website that already does what I’m describing ?  
 

I would like to get a list of fake websites together so please post what you have.  

Let me know your thoughts? 
 

   Joseph

Welcome to SB, You presented an interesting early post. Like a lot of things on the internet, they have to be considered for entertainment purposes only.

Hi Joseph,

I believe there had been some posts in the past concerning people's experiences, naming several reputable online stores.  Where I live (Indiana) that's not an option for me.  We can't legally have liquor shipped to us.  Even if we could, the shipping and handling would send the price crazy.  I would suspect fraud anytime offers pop up to sell hard to get bottles and there's no brick a mortar store or liquor license.
