Is surffcsshop.shop a scam?

This is a scam.

Fake FCS store selling surfboard fins and surf hardware

This site copies FCS' online store of surfboard fins and surf hardware, but it's part of a known scam network and has nothing to do with FCS. 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 surffcsshop.shop is at fcs.com, which belongs to FCS. FCS 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 surffcsshop.shop is already on HaGeZi's public threat list.

  • Every price cut by 65%

    FCS II Performer Tri Fin Set is $41.74 instead of $119.25, FCS II Performer Quad Rear Fin Set is $13.91 instead of $39.73, and FCS II Connect Longboard Fin is $20.23 instead of $57.80.

  • Reviews written by the kit, not by customers

    Five-star quotes such as 'The durability of the FCS gear is unmatched, My performance has improved significantly since switching brands' are signed David R., Sarah L. and Marcus T., signatures that appear on thousands of other copied stores.

  • More copies of the same store

    Three more copies of FCS' store were online in mid-September 2026: fcsukemporiumshop.shop, surffcshq.shop and surffcsonline.shop.

  • 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.
