Once you have clarified all the details and decided on a pet, you will eventually have found the perfect four-legged friend for you. Funny, playful, sweet and easy to fall in love with. You can't keep that from anyone! * snap * – photo taken and immediately uploaded to Instagram, a few meaningful hashtags underneath and now all you have to do is wait for the countless little hearts that will follow the post.
To be too good to be true
But it's not just the likes that come in one after the other. The inbox fills up with messages from unknown profiles who have also become aware of your post.
Pleased that others are also recognizing the potential of your furry friend, you visit the linked page on Instagram and are amazed at how many dog models from all parts of the world have already posed for this page. You contact the company via direct message and a chatbot explains to you what great offers are waiting for you and your friends. Sounds too good to be true, right?
Rewards for dog and owner
In an exchange with a chatbot, the interested dog owner is immediately told all the advantages that await him if he cooperates with the company. This means he can choose 3 items from the entire range for free and receive a 50% discount code for himself and his friends, including a 15% commission if someone subsequently uses this code.
Influencers on Instagram
All you have to do is share a photo of your four-legged friend with one of the selected items on social media using the hashtag #pawbless and post the photo on the company's main page to further increase your reach. You would only have to pay the shipping costs between 9 and 39 dollars yourself. An offer that you almost can't refuse.
Trust is good, control is even better
After the initial excitement has died down a bit, you should take the time to look at the offer and especially the English-language web shop itself a little more critically. Surprisingly, it turns out that all inquiries are supposed to be from an Austrian company, but according to WKO Firmen AZ are not registered in the company directory.
Customers never received orders
The search for relevant experience reports ultimately fades the remaining bit of euphoria, as they are anything but positive. SabiReviews took a closer look at the Pawbless online shop. The article exposes the shop's weak points and reports of unsuspecting customers who never received their goods . If the shop in question was reported or a review was written, it disappeared and returned again under a different name.
