Fake Websites

We are an internationally known and recognised brand that holds household weight, a great reputation and amazing value for money. Due to our ethos, our brand gets targeted by fraudulent attempts to clone our website, tricking our customers by using our brand identity. The most common form of fraudulent attempts to clone our brand is called website phishing, a type of cybercrime where customers are lured into providing sensitive information, such credit card details, names and addresses. These types of fake websites seem to offer great discounts or unmissable offers on our products like what we offer on our official website.We want our customers to pay attention and be cautious of websites that look similar to the official it Luggage websites. Our official it Luggage brand website, www.itluggage.com, offers and guarantees a safe and secure shopping experience for our customers and will continue to do so by helping you spot the fake from the real.Here at it Luggage, we are regularly checking and taking action with relevant authorities to remove and block fraudulent websites.

Tips To Avoid Phishing Attempts

URL – One of the first tips is to check the URL of the websites you visit. Fake links usually imitate the websites URL
by adding extra or unnecessary words such as Sale, Discount, Cheap etc. They also use slight spelling mistakes. If you are not certain if you are on an official IT Luggage website, you can e-mail us directly by contacting our customer service department here - Contact Us where one of our team will be able to confirm or deny if this is legitimate website or not.
Invasive Advertising – Be aware of invasive advertising when you enter the website. If the website is full of advertisements popping up, offering you further discounts, asking for personal information such as addresses or credit card details, it’s likely that you are on a phishing website.Payment Methods – What are the payment methods? If the website is only offering bank transfer or direct credit card payments, be wary. A trusted verified website will offer multiple payment methods from brands such as PayPal, Klarna, Google Pay, Apple Pay etc alongside the typical credit/debit card options.
