Scammers are impersonating Kachorovska: the brand has warned about a fake website offering “discounts” of up to 90%
3 August 19:02
The Ukrainian fashion brand Kachorovska has warned customers about a fraudulent website that uses the company’s name and offers products at discounts of up to 90%, misleading consumers. This was reported by "Komersant Ukrainian".
Social media users reported the fake website. Posts indicate that the site mimics the design of the brand’s official online store and advertises shoes and clothing at prices significantly below market value.
The domain used by the scammers is fbkachorovska.top, while the company’s official website operates on the domain kachorovska.com.
Representatives of Kachorovska have confirmed the existence of the fraudulent website. The company has urged customers to be vigilant and to make purchases exclusively through the official website.
“We also post information about fraudulent websites on our official social media accounts. Please be careful and use only our official website,” Kachorovska stated.
According to users, the fake store is actively promoted through social media ads, which may lead potential buyers to mistake it for the official sales channel. Some users note that they almost placed an order but decided to check the website’s address first.
Cybersecurity experts have repeatedly warned that scammers are increasingly creating clones of well-known Ukrainian brands, using similar designs, logos, and unrealistically large discounts to collect money or buyers’ personal data.
Experts recommend checking the following before making a payment:
- the website address and domain;
- the presence of official links from the brand’s social media accounts;
- the seller’s contact information;
- whether the discounts seem realistic.
The Kachorovska case is yet another example of the rise of online fraud in Ukrainian e-commerce, where scammers exploit trust in well-known brands to attract buyers.
