Is w3schoolsshop.shop a scam?

This is a scam.

Fake W3Schools store selling programming courses and certifications

This site copies W3Schools' online store of programming courses and certifications, but it's part of a known scam network, and the real W3Schools store is at w3schools.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 w3schoolsshop.shop is at w3schools.com, which belongs to W3Schools. W3Schools 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 w3schoolsshop.shop is already on HaGeZi's public threat list.

  • Every price cut by 70%

    SQL Certification Course is $17.10 instead of $57.00, Python Certification Course is $17.10 instead of $57.00, and DSA Certification Exam is $17.10 instead of $57.00.

  • 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.
