The online shop wowvip.com offers branded goods at the lowest prices; the seller prefers to remain anonymous. Great bargain or lousy trap?
We received inquiries about an online shop that seemed dubious. This allegedly sells Canon products at greatly reduced prices.
This is what the website looks like:

The fact check
If you scroll to the bottom of the online shop website, you will see the copyright information “2017 – 2019”. This should mean that the website has existed since at least 2017, as you usually protect your “work” from the moment it is created.
verify this , we send the website address through a quick Whois :

It quickly becomes clear that the copyright information is incorrect because the website is “only” about 2 months old. It has also not been updated since the day it was created, April 19, 2018. Furthermore, the site comes from the Czech Republic, but is located in the USA. The origin could therefore point to the Czech Republic rather than the USA.
A search for reviews from people who have already purchased from this online shop was also unsuccessful.
So who really is this retailer who can offer Canon products at such unbelievably low prices?
A look at the imprint should answer this question - but unfortunately there is none. Under About Us you will not find any contact details for the owner or where the company is located.
If you now look at the products on offer, you quickly notice that they are constantly dumping prices . At up to -95%, these high-priced, first-class SLR cameras are almost said to be “thrown at” the buyer. Anyone who knows anything about photography knows that you ca . The same applies to the lenses offered.
If you click on such a supposed bargain, you will come across the next clue that this is not a reputable online shop. The trick with the countdown is intended to put pressure on the buyer. However, when purchasing such a SLR camera, you should take a little more time than 1 hour to make the purchase decision:

The number of 19 pieces is also intended to entice the potential buyer to make a quick purchase... you don't want to miss such an opportunity.
Rather not…
The purchase process also doesn't seem particularly trustworthy. Buying from a provider that only offers advance payment as a possible payment method is not particularly recommended - not only will you lose your money, but you will also be putting your personal data into the hands of such fraudsters.
In summary, everything here points to a fake shop. No transparency from the provider, high-priced branded goods at incredibly reduced prices, limited purchasing options - in the end you won't get a bargain here, you will only enrich fraudsters.
