What is the Sharlomay Ltd Scam Network?
While researching shopping scams, I have come across numerous ‘scam networks’ of fake websites. Essentially, a ‘scam network’ is a collection of independent websites created by a single entity for the explicit purpose of scamming customers. Scam networks can operate many different kinds of scams – shopping scams, investment scams, phishing and more.
All the shopping scam networks I have come across appear to originate from China and most of them operate under the names of various shell companies registered in countries such as Hong Kong, Cyprus, Germany, the UK and Ireland. One such shell company seems to be Sharlomay Ltd which is registered in Cyprus and has relations to the Uniqueness Scam Network of fake online stores operated from China.
The easiest way to identify a website operated by Sharlomay Ltd is to check whether the About Us, Contact Us, Terms & Conditions or Privacy Policy page have the below company information:
- Company name: SHARLOMAY LTD
Company address: Agion Theodoron 6 Agios Athanasios, 4102, Limassol, Cyprus
The above information is usually formatted as an image to hide the company name from search engines. If you see Sharlomay Ltd mentioned on the website or on your invoice/statement, there is a high likelihood that you may have fallen for a scam.
The below company details were also found on sites on which the details of Sharlomay Ltd were present:
- Company Name: HINOVATION LIMITED
Register Number: 13403207
Company Address: 3a Montagu Row, London, England, W1U 6DZ (This is not a returning address) - Four Seasons Network Technology Co., Limited
Upon analyzing the content, I found that there are hundreds of similar websites using the same content, all which are presumably scams related to Sharlomay Ltd and related entities in the Uniqueness Scam Network. The list of sites is given at the end of the article.
There are certainly thousands of more hidden sites similar to these. In the below screenshots, you can see websites apparently operated by Sharlomay Ltd using the same text as sites in the Uniqueness Scam Network.
Looking up the company information in the Cyprus business register revealed that Sharlomay Ltd was registered in April 2021. The Company Directory and Secretary are both stated to be AGATHI GIANNAKA (ΑΓΑΘΗ ΓΙΑΝΝΑΚΑ), who is also the Director/Secretary of at least 7 other companies. Therefore, this person is likely to be a figurehead who has no involvement in the operations of the company.
It is reasonable to believe that Sharlomay Ltd may be a shell incorporation created from China being (mis)used by Chinese organized cybercriminals to launder the proceeds of scams, as is the case with other entities related to the Uniqueness Scam Network.
Sharlomay Ltd‘s associated scam sites are promoted mainly through Facebook ads. Each website usually has multiple Facebook pages created for it, including pages that been hacked into and taken over. They are all used for running advertisements on Meta’s platforms Facebook and Instagram. The reason for creating multiple pages is to have backups in case a page gets deleted so that ads can continuously keep running.
Shockingly, Meta is unintentionally allowing its users to be defrauded and is indirectly profiting from shopping scams. Ads don’t always get taken down even after being reported and the reporting system itself is a joke because the scammers are able to create new pages with ease to run more ads. A more proactive approach needs to be taken by Facebook because whatever systems they have in place are clearly not enough to protect their users from dangerous websites related to Sharlomay Ltd and other entities in the Uniqueness Scam Network.
There are numerous negative reviews about Sharlomay Ltd’s websites and the company itself on sites such as Scam Detector, ScamAdviser, Trustpilot, YouTube and more. Common customer complaints include false advertising, products being shipped from China, late or no delivery, poor customer service and refusal to provide refunds.
If you think that any of Sharlomay Ltd’s related sites have scammed you, you can contact PayPal or your bank for a full refund. Don’t accept a partial refund citing that the product is not what you ordered and refuse to ship the items back to China as the merchant claims to be located in Cyprus.
