Schylling Scam and Fake Online Stores
Schylling Scam and Fake Online Stores

Schylling is a legitimate toy company, but scammers are currently using fake websites to steal credit card information by impersonating their popular NeeDoh line.

Fake Online Stores

Scammers often use "Schylling" in the URL with different suffixes. The following have been reported as fraudulent by users on Reddit and the BBB Scam Tracker:

  • schylling.us.com
  • schyllingstore.us.com
  • schylling.store.us.com
  • schyllings.it.com
  • schylinngtooys.us.com

The only official site is schylling.com.

About the Scam

  1. Search Results: These fake sites often appear at the top of Google searches for "NeeDoh" or "Schylling".
  2. Payment Failures: When you try to pay, the site may claim your credit card is "Not Supported" or the transaction "declined." This is often a front to capture your card details.
  3. Unauthorized Use: Victims have reported their card information being added to digital wallets like Apple Pay or Google Pay by scammers shortly after entering their details on these sites.
  4. Counterfeit Products: Even if items are shipped, they are often dangerous counterfeits that have not passed safety testing. Some users have reported "toxic smells" from fake sensory toys.

If You Were Scammed

  • Contact Your Bank Immediately: Cancel your credit/debit card and request a replacement. Monitor your accounts for unauthorized charges.
  • Dispute Charges: If a payment did go through (often via PayPal or a third-party processor), contact the provider to open a dispute.
  • Change Passwords: If you used the same password for the scam site as you do for other accounts, change them immediately.
  • Report It: You can report the specific fake URL to the BBB Scam Tracker to help warn others.
