Is grumpypencilstudio.shop a scam?

This is a scam.

Fake Grumpy Pencil store selling patches, art prints, and apparel

This site copies Grumpy Pencil's online store of patches, art prints, and apparel, but it belongs to a known scam network, and Grumpy Pencil's real store is at grumpypencil.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 grumpypencilstudio.shop is at grumpypencil.com, which belongs to Grumpy Pencil. Grumpy Pencil 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 grumpypencilstudio.shop is already on HaGeZi's public threat list.

  • Every price cut by 70%

    That VA Life Comic Issue #1 is $2,400.00 instead of $8,000.00, Spartan Warrior PVC Patch is $3,900.00 instead of $13,000.00, and Figure Study three is $38,700.00 instead of $129,000.00.

  • Reviews written by the kit, not by customers

    Five-star quotes such as 'Incredible selection and lightning-fast shipping, My order arrived perfectly packaged and exactly as described online' are signed Marcus L. and Elena R., 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.
