I ordered a pair of Ugg Boots on Sunday from a website called cheapuggsforsale.com and I want to know if it is a scam. I paid 95 dollars for them and it was almost too good to be true. I got a confirmation and the website looked not as bad as others, but I just want to make sure. Plus, what can I do if I was scammed? Thanks for your help.
Update:Sorry, the website is cheapuggsforsale2011.com

100% scam.
That is a fake website pretending to sell cheap merchandise.
Any site that advertises merchandise cheaper than the official manufacture's website is a fake site shipping gosh awful crappy knock-offs or simply collecting cash and not even bothering to ship fakes.
The pictures on the site look like the real merchandise because those pictures ARE of the official merchandise. Those pictures were stolen from the official manufacture's website. If you receive anything at all, which is doubtful, it will not resemble those pretty pictures at all.
The payment options say it all, Western Union and moneygram, only anonymous cash payments.
Western Union and moneygram do not verify anything on the form the sender fills out, not the name, not the street address, not the country, not even the gender of the receiver, it all means absolutely nothing. The clerk will not bother to check ID and will simply hand off your cash to whomever walks in the door with the MTCN# and question/answer. Neither company will tell the sender who picked up the cash, at what store location or even in what country your money walked out the door. Neither company has any kind of refund policy, money sent is money gone forever.
In all seriousness, when something goes wrong, what will you do? Send an email that is ignored and blocked? Send chat requests until you are ip banned? Call internationally and speak fluent Chinese?
The UPS, TNT and DHL icons are there only to take up space, that site only ships with EMS, the Chinese post office, good luck getting the "tracking number" they give you to work on the EMS website. You will need even more luck trying to contact EMS when your tracking stops and your "package" is lost somewhere.
You could then be really lucky, your "package" is discovered, seized by "customs" and all you need to do is pay even more money via Western Union or moneygram to the "custom's official" who uses a free email address just like that site has a free email address as its contact information.
Free email addresses are easy to open and close completely anonymously.
That website is not listed on the official uggaustralia website as one of their online retailers so it is selling fakes or just collecting cash and not even bothering to ship fakes. Only the one official uggaustralia website is allowed the use the word 'ugg' in the website address. That means that every other website with the word 'ugg' in the name is a fake site. Always, no exceptions.
Sorry but you got scammed by a Chinese site. Call your credit card company or contact paypal to cancel the transaction
You were scammed. The official UGGs site is http://www.uggaustralia.com/
The site you indicated does not even exist.
