A BBC article this week highlighted the continued emergence of fraudulent, scam websites selling low quality wigs to cancer patients resulting in them, understandably, losing trust in wig companies and being afraid to purchase again. Here at Joseph’s Wigs we are passionate about helping people come to terms with hair loss and finding the perfect wig for them. As long term members of this industry it’s extremely upsetting to read about these malicious scam wig sites and how people are being let down by them.
We’ve put together this blog to highlight the differences between these deceitful wig sites and reputable wig sites to ensure you can avoid being let down during your wig search.
Learn How to Spot Fake Wig Companies Online
Fraudulent wig websites can often look authentic and appear to be selling high quality wigs at some great prices. But it’s important you learn the tell-tale signs that distinguish trustworthy sites from these unscrupulous operators.
Firstly, you’ll notice the quality of images they use often aren’t as good and may be blurry, or you’ll recognise images/content that has been copied from larger, legitimate sites. These companies also advertise extremely low wig prices at unrealistic discounts. As the old adage goes , if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.
If the site doesn’t identify as a particular brand with a unique, obvious logo then you should also be wary. If in doubt, check whether the site has a review or client testimonial page as this suggests there’s a history of genuine trade with previous clients. Whilst such reviews could also be faked, if there is a lack of recommendations or client success stories more often than not this is a tell-tale sign.
Ever wondered why some sites have no social media accounts or missing contact details? That’s likely be because they’re not quite what they seem, and may not even exist!
Trustworthy wig sites care about your search for the perfect wig and have your satisfaction at heart. They’re often family run businesses with plenty of customer reviews, realistic price ranges and many years of experience. On the contrary, fraudulent wig companies simply want your money and have no interest in providing you with the wig and service you deserve. Problems we’ve heard about concerning these types of company include getting the wrong wig sent, the delivery being delayed (or never arriving at all) and the wig being nothing like the item that was advertised.
