You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Looking at sunglasses and coincidently this company offered me a 30% discount on Instagram if I used their glasses in some photos.
Smells like a scam, but is it?
I am not great at the background checking on websites but many on here seem proper Poirots

I'm not going to look at the website, but it's probably a scam. Do you really want to find out?
Yip. They appear to be Canadian and there are some semi famous people who use thier products.
The website was registered in August 2020, and they paid for 2 years - scammers would probably not do that as they'll close down once they've made a bit. Nothing jumps out to say the company isn't legit.
But searching for information brought up this. What evidence do you have that the person who contacted you actually represents the company? As an example, which may not be the one you've seen, there's an Instagram account called theoutdoorzyofficial - which links to theoutdoorzy.com - but anyone can make a link. I'd be more confident if theoutdoorzy.com had a link to the Instagram account. Maybe contact them through the website and ask if the offer you've had is one they recognise?
It looks legit to me. Here is a link to a youtube review of the glasses where you also get a 30% discount. The guy reviewing seems to like them.

Looks like cheap’ish copies of Oakley/100% etc. If lenses are decent quality maybe worth a punt. AliExpress you’ll get similar for £10

See if you get a reply.

Theoutdoorzy Instagram is full of folks wearing biiiig shades

It does, there's a insta logo on the site, took me to the above link

You're right, it does. I clicked it earlier and it did nothing. Looks legit then.
I emailed them to check. If its a scam its a good one, I am just getting so sceptical of everything these days!
It's a scam, they've flattered your ego by making you feel special, so you're now considering buying a product you'd never even heard of before. As above, if you google, easy to find a 30% discount code available to everyone 😃 Good marketing ploy though obviously... make an average Joe feel like he's an Instagram brand ambassador like his "semi-famous" athlete heroes 🤣
It’s a scam. The glasses will be cheap rubbish and you will effectively be being full price for them even if they offer them for shipping alone.
Unfortunately it’s pretty much par for the course now and is the new way to market/ sell on insta.

This. And they will be dropshipped from China.

Not saying you're wrong, but it would be nice to see some evidence to back it up...
probably this (that'll be how they're affording free worldwide shipping). The website is laid out [I]exactly[/I] how scam websites are, massive discounts off [b]everything[/b]. (Not saying you won't receive anything, just that they're using the same psychological tricks that scammers use to entice you into buying). That and the fact all their marketing seems to be recommendations from people that've been paid to give recommendations... It just doesn't suggest "quality product" to me. 😉This. And they will be dropshipped from China.
Ruddy 'ell - I wouldn't have worn those even back in the 90's!! 🤮🤮
How about these - https://shadyrays.com/
Guaranteed for LIFE! Replaced if you scratch, break or lose em. Nice idea (and not a scam)
What sort of scam do you think it is?
You buy them and they don't send you owt?
very expensive for what are obviously extremely cheaply made sunglasses. I guess they’re banking on most people not taking them up on the lifetime* guarantee, in which case they’re laughing! Still, nice marketing, if it makes you feel part of a special club, go for it 👍How about these – https://shadyrays.com/Guaranteed for LIFE! Replaced if you scratch, break or lose em.
