0:18
scams let's start with the basics a

official social media pages right but
0:26
not amber. shop there are no social
0:28
media icons that linked to its social
0:31
media Pages this might seem minor but
0:33
for us it's the first clue something's
0:38
right next we head over to their contact
0:41
us page and here's what we found the
0:43
parent company listed is snot technology
0:46
UK limited now why does that matter
0:48
because this company has a history of
0:50
running shady and problematic websites
0:53
if SN technology is involved that's a
0:55
serious red flag but hold on sites like
0:59
Amber shop love to play hide and seek
1:02
they might change their parent company
1:03
name or address in the future so if
1:06
tomorrow you see a different name or no
1:08
contact details at all don't let it
1:10
confuse you it's all part of the scam
1:14
strategy here's another classic move
1:17
Amber shop lists a ton of products with
1:19
huge discounts sounds tempting doesn't
1:22
it but beware this is a common trick
1:24
used by scam sites they lure you in with
1:26
unbelievable prices and then you either
1:29
never get your order or you receive
1:33
fake check this out the design and
1:36
content on Amber Shop's site are nearly
1:38
identical to those on multiple other

1:42
copied and pasted the whole thing this
1:44
cookie cutter approach is a Telltale
1:48
scam and don't even get us started on
1:51
their return policy it's so confusing
1:54
that getting a refund might feel like
1:55
solving a Rubik's cube blindfolded scam
1:58
sites love making things difficult for
2:00
customers and Amber shop seems to have
