Fake GHD Straighteners – Can You Verify Yours Is Authentic?

With the ever growing numbers of counterfeit GHD sites that are showing up in the Google listings, have you paid for a set of ghd hair straighteners lately not realising that you have unfortunately been the victim of a counterfeit company?

Most of the GHD websites seem to point towards the China region and we can see that domain names are being purchased and then built full of directory links. Only this month I have checked through the Google listing and looked at the top 10 results and found a good number to be imitation sites that have thousands of links or more directing into them from quick sources.

Now to the naive Internet user they won’t realise any of this and without doubt won’t do any analysis, but the ideal way is look before you order. These are the key things to look out for:

Check the website has contact information as all fakes just don’t which arouses suspicion.

Check the stated delivery times, fake sites usually never put it or they take a month to arrive.

Check the cost, if it appears too reduced compared against authentic retailers. As a foot note GHDs don’t sell for cheaper than £70.

Proof read, just skim through a snippet and check its standard of English. I have noticed that a lot of these counterfeit websites have awful English writing.
