Doing a search for some new Fivefingers.
This site came up:
http://www.theenglishpig.co.uk/

Looks good superficially. But, the prices are far cheaper than anyone else. There are no contact details, and occassionally there is a description in what I think is Turkish.
It's got to be a scam hasnt it?

As ever, if you have to ask...

Domain name: theenglishpig.co.uk

Registered on: 06-Sep-2017

Expiry date:  06-Sep-2018

Name registered last September for just one year.  Could be legit (I've not enen looked at the site) but that's enough to ring alarm bells for me.

Website is reasonably slick and nice looking.

However there's no contact details, no address listed.

Proceed with extreme caution, Will Robinson.

Looks dodgy AF.... Where's the post with the guy who bought the Troy Lee from an equally heavy discounting site?

Vibram have a great way of dealing with counterfeit five fingers. You have to also be a brick and mortar store to retail them. No physical shop, no sell.

Despite having the PayPal logo of confidence on the item page, when you checkout they don't actually offer PayPal - I'm out....

Obviously I'm not going to buy from them, but it just shows how convincing these fake/scam sites are to the less intuitive.
