Is a Uugvz.UK a legit online shop or a scam?
Author: Adam Collins
Uugvz.UK offers users a chance to shop at the convenience of their homes. I wanted to research this site as it has been searched a lot this week on ScamAdviser but it has a weird name. We often notice that scammers just use an awkward name as they have no intention to build a real brand. This makes checking out Uugvz worthwhile.
When was the site started?
The site was started on 28th February 2022 according to ScamAdviser. Since this is a relatively new site, there are a lot of issues that have been left untold. It was hard to know who the real owners of the company are, as there is no “About Us” section on the site.
Since it has a .uk domain, I decided to check the site owners through the company house. But there was no information available.

There are a lot of products on offer so I decided to check out some of them.
I checked out “Alphabet Graffiti Patchwork Off Shoulder Black Bodycon Maxi Dress">Alphabet Graffiti Patchwork Off Shoulder Black Bodycon Maxi Dress”. I found the same text on other sites such as Alexnld and Banggood.
Upon a closer look, they not only have the same names, but the images are the same. This is a common trait of scammers, who use altered model images to showcase their work. I have to wonder, as an online store that focuses on fashion, why not have your own images to show off your best work?
No contact information
There was no contact information available on the site. On the content page, I only saw a fill form that requires your name and contact information. They have not provided any phone number or email address.
I found this rather strange as most online shopping sites will provide customers with support. There is an option of opening your own account, which is a must when shopping with this company.
I could not find any about us or privacy policy available, which again is suspicious considering how important people are concerned with their data.
Other links are also proven to have no content. For example, if you click on “Brands” and “Specials” in the footer you get an empty page.
No social proof
I could not find any customer reviews on any place. Customer reviews play an important role as they help you know more about the company. It was hard to know if Uugvz.uk has ever made any sales and if the customers are happy or not.
I could not find any information on MyWOT or TrustPilot which raised more eyebrows.
To summarize, there is a lot of missing information about the site which does not help my quest to know if the site is a scam or not. There are characteristics that overlap with what we see with scams, proceed with caution when dealing with Uugvz.UK.

The below tips will help you identify the signs which can indicate that a website could be a scam. Common Sense: Too Good To Be True When looking for goods online, a great deal can be very enticing. A Gucci bag or a new iPhone for half the price? Who wouldn’t want to grab such a deal? Scammers know this too and try to take advantage of the fact. If an online deal looks too good to be true, think twice and double-check things. The easiest way to do this is to simply check out the same product at competing websites (that you trust). If the difference in prices is huge, it might be better to double-check the rest of the website.

If you think you have been scammed, the first port of call when having an issue is to simply ask for a refund. This is the first and easiest step to determine whether you are dealing with a genuine company or scammers. Sadly, getting your money back from a scammer is not as simple as just asking. If you are indeed dealing with scammers, the procedure (and chance) of getting your money back varies depending on the payment method you used.
