Explore Boutique (Explore-Boutique.com) is amongst the latest line of shady online sites posing as discounted online retailers.
Presented as an overseas company alleged based out of China, Explore Boutique allegedly offers an abundant supply of consumer goods that reflect “savings” ranging between 50% to 95% on average.
To find out more regarding the Explore Boutique operation and why you should avoid their ‘retail’ site as a whole, we invite you to read our unbiased review.
About Explore-Boutique.com
As we’ve briefly touched upon, Explore-Boutique.com is structured to appear as an overseas online discount marketplace that supports a wide variety of consumer goods.
The category of assets allegedly supported at Explore-Boutique.com are as followed:
- Electronic Products
- Motorcycle Accessories
- Toys & Hobbies
- Cosplay Costumes
- Outdoors
Other supported inventory supposedly offered through Explore-Boutique would be apparel goods, gaming systems and select knick-knacks.
Affiliated Sites
When we were conducting our investigation into Explore-Boutique, we came across the following contact information:
Email: explore-boutique@zjzemail.com
Phone: 18659470786
Alleged Corporate Entity: ZG Technology, Co., Limited
Address: UNIT 04,7/F, Bright Way Tower, No. 33 Mong Kok Road, Kowloon, HK.
When we researched the alleged phone number of Explore-Boutique, we noticed that it was already associated with other sites that reflect the same site template, contact information and of course many spelling and grammatical errors.
The affiliated sites would be:
- Gather-Trend.com
- Fashion-Assistant.com
- OurGiftShopping.com
To add, the corporate structure allegedly behind all of three of these domains has been declared a scam by many consumers on Facebook.
What we found interesting would be how all of these domains fail to include ZG Technology Co., Limited as their overseeing entity in their Terms of Service.
Instead most of the domains reflect that they are operating on their own accord, all except for Fashion-Assistant.com which is said to be overseen by OurGiftShopping.com.
Domain Insight
Explore-Boutique.com was privately registered on September 18th, 2018.
Gather-Trend.com was privately acquired on September 18th, 2018.
Fashion-Assistant.com was privately registered on September 18th, 2018.
OurGiftShopping.com was privately acquired on September 20th, 2018.
All of this information can be found in a WHOIS domain report and only reinforces the fact that something exceptionally shady and unethical is likely taking root here.
Why You Should Avoid Explore-Boutique.com
Lack of Transparency
Explore-Boutique, Gather-Trends, Fashion-Assistant and OurGiftShopping fail to disclose verifiable ownership information while failing to make any reference to the corporate entity ZG Technology Co., Limited in their Terms of Service.
Clone Retail Sites
Initially we set out to investigate into the murky depths of Explore-Boutique.com only to find out that this fictitious retail site reflected several clone entities.
More likely than not, the creators behind these fake online marketplaces are going to keep launching fake retailers as long as consumers are gullible enough to fall for them, so we don’t anticipate this is our last bout with them.
Absence of Feedback
There isn’t much community feedback regarding any of these entities except for the corporate entity ZG Technology Co., Limited, which is being declared a deceptive scam on Facebook.
Not a Secure Site
Explore-Boutique.com, Gather-Trend.com and Fashion-Assistant.com are not secure sites.
This means that any information submitted on any of these domains could be at risk and be used without your consent to unknown ends.
Is Explore-Boutique.com Legit?
Obviously, Explore-Boutique.com is NOT a legitimate online retailer, nor are any of their associated retailers.
Explore-Boutique.com Review Conclusion
Explore-Boutique.com reflects all the exhibited characteristics of an online retailer that is too good to be true.
It is evident that the scammers behind Explore-Boutique were not satisfied with having one scam site so they went out and created a few more.
Gather-Trend.com, Fashion-Assistant.com and OurGiftShopping.com are FAKE online retailers that should NOT be trusted!
Given the indisputable information shared in our impartial review above, we are obviously recommending our readers to avoid these fictitious online retailers through any means necessary.
Furthermore, do not only yourself but others a courtesy by sharing this review and avoiding these fake online marketplaces.
The quicker we can get the word out regarding these scam operations, the faster they can be eradicated from existence.
Outcome: We do NOT advice shopping with Explore-Boutique OR any of their affiliated sites!
Blacklisted Sites: Explore-Boutique.com, Gather-Trend.com, Fashion-Assistant.com & OurGiftShopping.com
