Counterfeiters are abundant and they are hard to spot. Follow these three easy steps to protect yourself:

Step three will surprise you!

Step 1: As an online consumer, you are not protected against crime driven business. Read below and see that it’s ultimately up to you, the consumer, to avoid being scammed.

Counterfeit UGG sites make a living by ripping you off. You are lucky to receive fake UGG boots at all; many sites simply steal your credit card information and never send a package.

Counterfeit UGG websites deceive you, the consumer, and often steal your credit card information. They send you inferior product (see images to right) and they won’t let you return it. Counterfeiters ignore human labor laws, copyright laws and environmental regulations.

Most fake websites are based out of China, making it almost impossible for law enforcement agencies to bring them down. This puts the responsibility on you, the consumer, to educate yourself against these scams.

Follow the next two steps to avoid getting duped by crime driven business.

Step 2: Learn to how to tell if a website really protects your information or if it is faking security measures (learn the fake sites’ dirty tricks)

Authorized retailers are scanned, tested and certified daily by McAfee SECURE®, or one of the other popular security providers such as VeriSign or Trust-Guard. This means all your information is transmitted and encrypted without risk using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Technology.

Counterfeiters do not invest in security measures, because they do not value your confidential information. However, many fake UGG sites do display security icons, which are fake. To determine if a security icon is fake, attempt to click on it.

Buyer Beware: All legitimate security icons can be clicked so that you can verify the legitimacy of the service. If you cannot click the security icon, there is a strong chance that this site sells counterfeit UGG.

Step 3: Learn to differentiate between authorized UGG Australia dealers and websites selling fake UGG products.

Any site that uses the word «ugg» in the domain name* (other than uggaustralia.com) is almost certainly NOT an authorized dealer!

UGG Australia does not allow authorized dealers to use the word ‘ugg’ in the domain name! This is the easiest way to sift through fake UGG sites.

Try searching for ‘cheap uggs’ in google, you’ll be shocked how many unauthorized sites come up!
