Is lighthelmetshq.shop a scam?

This is a scam.

Fake LIGHT Helmets store selling lightweight safety helmets

This site copies LIGHT Helmets' online store of lightweight safety helmets, but it's part of a known scam network, and the real LIGHT Helmets store is at lighthelmets.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 lighthelmetshq.shop is at lighthelmets.com, which belongs to LIGHT Helmets. LIGHT Helmets 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 lighthelmetshq.shop is already on HaGeZi's public threat list.

  • Every price cut by 70%

    SS1 Headgear is $26.70 instead of $89.00, Bundled Facemask - Stainless Steel is $29.70 instead of $99.00, and Chrome Dome Skull Cap is $8.98 instead of $29.95.

  • Reviews written by the kit, not by customers

    Five-star quotes such as 'Incredibly lightweight and comfortable, My son says he forgets he is even wearing a helmet during practice' are signed Marcus R. and David L., 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.
