What is Howstore.gg?
Howstore.gg exhibits characteristics consistent with scam-like e-commerce operations. The site appears to accept payments while customer reports suggest data collection issues.
The platform is promoted through various channels including social media advertising on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. Marketing materials feature discount offers and product images to attract customers.
Customer reports indicate that after submitting orders and payment information, users may experience one of these outcomes:
No delivery: Payment processed, but no product arrives.
Counterfeit products: Customers report receiving imitations that do not match product descriptions.
Damaged items: Products reportedly arrive broken, used, or tampered with.
Wrong products: Customers report receiving items that differ from their orders.
The platform appears to collect customer names, addresses, phone numbers, and payment details during checkout. There are concerns that this information may be misused for identity theft, unauthorized charges, or data sales.
Howstore.gg displays patterns commonly associated with problematic e-commerce sites: social media promotion, payment and data collection, and reported delivery issues. These patterns suggest potential risks for customers, though individual experiences may vary.
