Is blackstarampsdirect.shop a scam?

This was a scam. The site is now gone.

Fake Blackstar Amp store selling amplifiers, pedals and guitars

This site copies Blackstar Amp's online store of amplifiers, pedals and guitars, but it isn't run by Blackstar Amp and belongs to a known scam network. Stores like this are unlikely to deliver the real product, and may use card details typed at checkout for nefarious purposes.

Reasons for concern

  • Copies a real company's store under another address

    The contact email on blackstarampsdirect.shop is at blackstarampshop.com, which belongs to Blackstar Amp. Blackstar Amp does not run this copy.

  • Part of a network of thousands of copied stores

    Same kit and hosting as thousands of other copied stores, and blackstarampsdirect.shop is already on HaGeZi's public threat list.

  • Every price cut by 70%

    Blackstar 20ft Pro Series Instrument Cable is $7.50 instead of $24.99, Blackstar 20ft Standard Series Instrument Cable is $5.40 instead of $17.99, and Blackstar 10ft Pro Series Instrument Cable is $6.00 instead of $19.99.

  • Reviews written by the kit, not by customers

    Five-star quotes such as 'The tone is incredible and delivery was faster than expected, Best amp purchase I have ever made' are signed Marcus L. and David R., signatures that appear on thousands of other copied stores.

  • Template text left in place

    The page still carries the stock claim of 10,000+ happy customers in 50+ countries and the sample address john@example.com, both left over from the store template.

  • The site has since disappeared

    When we checked on 23 September 2026, the web address no longer led anywhere.
