Soccer04.Shop – Legit or Scam Jersey Store? My Findings

By Samantha Nov7,2024

Are you a fan of soccer? Do you want to buy jerseys from Soccer04.Shop? The low price might catch your eyes, but unfortunately, Soccer04 is not a legit online store. Below, I reveal my findings about the website.

Overview of Soccer04.Shop

Soccer04.Shop offers international, premier league, La Liga jerseys r for sale on its website. The store uses flashy discounts and to attract shoppers. After collecting payment via Credit Card (HMCLOTH HONG KONG, JIAHANG47W HONG KONG) the website scam customers by delivery of inferior jerseys or non-delivery of items.

Red Flags Revealing Soccer04.Shop Scam

Formerly Known as Soccer03

Soccer04.Shop formerly operated under ‘soccer03.shop’ and ‘soccer03.store’. This information is avialable on its About Us page ‘To help you Express Yourself. To support you at www.soccer03.shop.’ Reviews for Soccer03 indicate the store has bad reputation.

Owned by a Suspicious Company

The website is part of a huge network of scammers in China, nicknamed the ‘Uniqueness ring’. This name is due to the fact they use the same awful 2018 era dropshipping site template, and the ‘about us’ page has a bullshit phrase in the intro about ‘uniqueness’.

The websites run all sorts of ads. They even run ads to AliExpress junk, like other dropshippers. Then they scam customers by sending random low-quality products.

Questionable Quality

The quality of the jerseys or shoes isn’t as great as shown on the store. Other flaws reported include – wrong texture, tilted logo or number, wrong shade of colour, e.t.c

Shutting Down Soon

Just like soccer03 that isn’t functioning anymore, soccer04.shop was created for a short term plan. Reputable websites typically register domains for multiple years, indicating stability and a commitment to their business.

Limited Communication Channel

Though the website provides an email ‘[email protected]‘ and WhatsApp number ‘+852 46071839‘. The company is known to shut off all communication channels after taking payment from a large number of buyers.

Doesn’t Accept PayPal

SOCCER04 doesn’t accept a secured payment method like PayPal. Hence, customers can’t request for a refund. Its payment methods lack the necessary encryption and security measures to protect customers’ sensitive financial information.

Copied Content

The content on the website are generic. The About Us, Terms of Service and Privacy Policy have been copied. Legitimate business always source and provide their own legal pages in order to protect both the business and customers right.

What To Do If You Got Scammed

Cancel your credit card

Immediately call your financial provider and cancel your credit card. By so doing, the credit card details you used for your transaction would become null and wouldn’t be charged in the future by the store.

Request for a new card

After the old credit card has been cancelled, ask for a new card, it doesn’t cost much to get one.Your credit card issuer will issue you a new one with different numbers.

Report the Fraud To Relevant Authorities

Report the scam to relevant authorities and organizations. This includes:

  • Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3): If you are in the United States, you can file a complaint with the IC3 at https://www.ic3.gov/.
  • Your Local Consumer Protection Agency: Contact your local consumer protection agency or the equivalent regulatory body in your country.
  • Better Business Bureau (BBB): File a complaint with the BBB if the online store is based in the United States.
