Is hclclampingdirect.shop a scam?

This is a scam.

Fake HCL Clamping store selling hose clamps and banding tools

This site copies HCL Clamping's online store of hose clamps and banding tools, but it's part of a known scam network and has nothing to do with HCL Clamping. 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 hclclampingdirect.shop is at hclclamping.com, which belongs to HCL Clamping. HCL Clamping 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 hclclampingdirect.shop is already on HaGeZi's public threat list.

  • Every price cut by 65%

    Draper, Compound Action Tinman's Shears - 49905 is $7.76 instead of $22.16, Double Ear Hose Clamp - 11-13mm - 304 Stainless Steel is $0.32 instead of $0.91, and Double Ear Hose Clamp - 18-21mm - 304 Stainless Steel is $0.47 instead of $1.34.

  • More copies of the same store

    Another copy of HCL Clamping's store was online in mid-September 2026: hclclampingstore.shop.

  • Template text left in place

    The page still carries the sample address john@example.com, left over from the store template.
