Solokk (Solokk.com) is amongst one of the latest scams to make their debut within the online retail industry.
What makes Solokk such a dangerous scam would be the network of experienced scam operators actively backing what we have already begun exposing as a growing network of retail scams.
Starting around Christmas time of 2018 we caught wind of a growing series of retail scams that started to periodically launch new retail scams every month or so.
However, after formulating what we are coining to be the 3-step scam process with these scams, it is evident that the release dates of these recently incepted retail scams are showing no signs of slowing down.
In fact, it appears the con-artists operating behind the scenes of these retail scams are accelerating their launch dates by launching their retail scams more frequently.

To learn more regarding the Solokk scam and the 10 other retail scams that we have exposed in affiliation with Solokk.com we invite you to read our honest review.
What is Solokk?
Solokk.com reflects a minimalist site template and implies that they are affiliated with the reputable brand name Salomon.
Allegedly supporting outwear such as a coats and jackets, every product featured at Solokk reflects astronomical online savings ranging between 50% to 95% off.
In the header of the site we are confronted with the Salomon logo (directly implying that Solokk is affiliated with Salomon) but that is certainly not the case.
As you will shortly learn, nearly a half dozen of the most recently incepted scam campaigns launched by this network of scams have been targeting name brand products with the intentions of baiting consumers into believing that they are affiliated with such brands.

That, however, is a lie.
Salomon has no affiliation what-so-ever with Solokk and we imagine once they discover that Solokk is scamming innocent consumers by misleading them into believing they are purchasing Salomon goods they will be infuriated and take action.
Who is Behind Solokk.com?
Solokk.com does not reference an overseeing or corporate entity on their site.
In addition, no physical addresses or identifying information of the sort can be found which leaves Solokk to operate as a completely anonymous scam retailer (just the way the operators behind this scam intended).
The only contact methods that we were able to find on Solokk would be the same contact information we have found with the 10 other scam sites linked with Solokk, which are as followed:
- Support@JDOnline.info
- Service@MainGmail.com
- Lars@Service-Sys.com
Other than those 3 email addresses, Solokk.com discloses a contact submission form to ‘reach out to them’ although consumers who have had the unfortunate experiences of being scammed by their linked scam sites report that the operators behind these scams NEVER get back to them.
Linked Scam Sites
As we predicted early on, the list of retail scams within this network of phony retail sites is on the rise.
Bringing our total tally to 11, below are the 10 retail scams that we’ve exposed to date in affiliation with the network responsible for the Solokk scam:
- HexPress.Shop (generic scam site)
- GoodTop.Shop (generic scam site)
- ZZPlus.Shop (generic scam site)
- XCDour.com (generic scam site)
- BTMD.Online (generic scam site)
- NorCX.com (targeting The North Face brand)
- NikeBT.com (targeting Nike brand)
- NikeXK.com (targeting Nike brand)
- KeenCP.com (targeting Keen footwear brand)
- Vansaa.com (targeting Vans footwear brand)
The first five scams listed above also happen to be the first scams that we encountered during what we believe to be the early days of this scam network.
Functioning as generic scam sites that claimed to support hundreds of thousands of consumer goods, we find it likely that the con-artists behind these scams found it more effective to scam people by combining their usual scam tactics in combination with targeting name brands.

Thus creating what we are coining as the 3-Step Scam Process.
Here is how these scams now work:
The creators target reputable name brands that possess global prowess to bait a more select and oftentimes more eager consumer pool
By baiting consumers to their site with ‘highly discounted’ name brand goods for up to 95% off retail value, the operators behind this site grip their claws in deeper
The last step of this scam process would be the theft of a consumers hard-earned money
Oftentimes these scam sites will employ similar URLs in addition to embedding the logo of their targeted name brands on their site to render the illusion that they are affiliated with those popular brands when in reality there is no affiliation.

Buen día. Mi nombre es Gabriel.
Fui estafado por la tienda online falsa solokk.com.
Comprando 2 pares de zapatillas salomon, recibí en 60 días una gorra Gucci copia, no original, por un valor bajísimo.
Las direcciones de correo no responden, son falsas. Sólo una, me sugiere que me quede con lo recibido y que quieren darme el 30 % del valor de compra.
A su vez con la transacción de la tarjeta de crédito, la suma del valor de compra fue triplicado.
Descubrí otra página falsa además de la de solokk.com, auxgifts.com

Hi Tim,
We also have come across the following that may be scams affiliated with Solokk. These were listed in a picture and posted repeatedly (virus) on a friends facebook page, since late May2019, tagging in friends off his friends list. This is perhaps a 4th step in the scam process, as it certainly made us look twice as it was a reputable friend, and we had been tagged specifically, along with about 15 other friends. I have since seen it in my new feed every few days, with a different 15-20 of his friends tagged.
The sites are:
The North Face: norbd.com
Salomon: smnkk.com
VANS: vansaa.com
KEEN: keendd.com
Ralph Lauren: poloaa.com
Birkenstock: bkenm.com
Adidas Nike New Balance: nikebt.com
Another round:
Bkencp.com
Salokp.com
Convp.com
Vanskp.com
Norxk.com
Keenkp.com
Polokp.com
Thank you Tim for your review!
