"Hotbuyvip" is a Fraudulent Online Power Tool Store

Hotbuyvip is a Fraudulent Online Power Tool Store

The online store "Hotbuyvip," also called SuperBuy, at hotbuyvip.com is fraudulent. Online users are advised to stay away from the fraudulent website, also called "Tools & Hardware," which claims to sell power and automotive tools. This is because those who shop from the fake online store, run the risk of their personal, credit card and other payment processing information getting stolen by cyber-criminals and used fraudulently. They also run the risk of receiving counterfeit goods, or poor quality goods that look nothing like what was advertised.

The cybercriminals behind the fake website will use another website and change the name once the current website has been taken down. Therefore, only shop on popular and reputable websites. And, for online users who have already used their credit cards on the website, are asked to contact their banks for help. They should let their banks know that they have unknowingly used their credit cards on an untrustworthy website.

I was concerned about ordering from this site, the well known tool brands they advertised so cheaply were a bit suss but I did a Domain name search and found that it was only five weeks old, so it raised the red flag for me.

Regarding credit card details, this site also took PayPal so your card details would be protected if you used PayPal but while PayPal has a $20000 protection for fraudulent use, it’s all the hassle that you need to go through.

Thanks for making this information available.
