Is coregearhq.shop a scam?

This was a scam. The site is now gone.

Fake Core Equipment store selling camping and outdoor gear

This site copies Core Equipment's online store of camping and outdoor gear, but it's part of a known scam network, and the real Core Equipment store is at coreequipment.com. 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 coregearhq.shop is at coreequipment.com, which belongs to Core Equipment. Core Equipment 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 coregearhq.shop is already on HaGeZi's public threat list.

  • Every price cut by 70%

    10 Person Tents Footprint & Outdoor Tarp is $15.00 instead of $49.99.

  • Reviews written by the kit, not by customers

    Five-star quotes such as 'The fit is incredible, Finally found a brand that balances high-end style with everyday comfort perfectly' are signed David L., Elena R. and Marcus T., signatures that appear on thousands of other copied stores.

  • Template text left in place

    The page still carries the sample address john@example.com, 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.
