Is growshopdirect.shop a scam?

This was a scam. The site is now gone.

Fake Growshop store selling hydroponic gardening supplies

This site copies Growshop's online store of hydroponic gardening supplies, but it's part of a known scam network and isn't run by Growshop. 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 growshopdirect.shop is at growshop.com, which belongs to Growshop. Growshop 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 growshopdirect.shop is already on HaGeZi's public threat list.

  • Every price cut by 70%

    250w HPS Super Plant Grow Lamp is $5.40 instead of $18.00, Stonewool Cubes 25mm x 25mm x 40mm - 100 Cubes per Slab is $2.40 instead of $8.00, and Bio Balancer 10 Litre Additive - CX Horticulture is $47.70 instead of $159.00.

  • 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.
