Grab a cuppa, this is a long one, but it’s important.
Join me on my walk to work on a soggy October morning, watching Hampstead wake up, while I tell you about something quite scary that happened to us this week.
Someone has set up a live mirror of our website. Not just a copy, a live feed of the real thing, so it looks exactly like shopfodder.COM, right down to the last product and photo, updating in real time. You could look at it and never know. The only difference is where your money and your details go, and it isn’t to us.
Because the page itself looks identical, the one thing to trust is the web address. Our only website is shopfodder.COM. If the address in the bar is anything else, even a tiny bit different, close the tab, however convincing the page looks.
A couple more things to keep you safe, especially heading into Christmas:
Type shopfodder.COM in yourself, or use the link in our bio, rather than clicking through from elsewhere.
If you’re ever unsure whether you’re in the right place, message us here or email [email protected] and ask. We will always reply.
This kind of thing targets small independent shops precisely because we’re trusted. The best thing you can do to help is share this, so other customers and other small businesses know to watch out too.
Please share, like and comment to help keep other shoppers and small businesses safe this Christmas.
And truly, thank you for shopping with us, and for looking out for us. It means everything. đź’™
