PSA: Stay away from Shimano-Outlet dot com
While hunting online for some Dura Ace hoods, I stumbled upon this website.
They showed the ST-9000 hoods available there, so I placed them in my cart.
$18 seemed reasonable, so it made sense to see their other listings.
After putting a couple more items in my cart, it seemed a good idea to go hogwild.
That's when their selling prices looked utterly ridiculous. Dura Ace C60 wheelset for $97?
So I opened another tab and found out it's fraudulent and a huge scam!
No doubt, a bunch of you all will check it out. Looks rock solid, but don't fall for it!

If you see outlet and a brand name that doesn't do outlet stuff be aware right away. This particular one is more red flags than the Soviet Union. Shimano is generally pretty careful about 3rd party and online sales and does try to enforce them quite well and are known for it.

Hey guys, dont buy anything from www.trustusthatthisisnotascamandisalegitretailoutletforshimanoandcampagnolocomponents.com because that is also a scam site! The worst part is they even claim it isnt a scam site in the url! The gall of these scammers, right?!

Sorry. Just trying to help group members. Never thought it would offend so many sharp people here.
Oh, well, if it prevents one member from squandering a load of money, guess I did my job.
Just realize, for a moment, that this site pops up on a regular google search, making google look somewhat untrustworthy.
Feel free to carry on with the razzing. I can take it.

Watch out for those fake outlet scams! I see a lot for shoe brands I like. Red Wing, Rocky Boots, etc. Scammers are getting pretty good at making fake websites but still fail with some details.
It's getting tough to find the deals these days. Euro sites aren't quite what they used to be and Steep and Cheap is now Steep and maybe 8% off
