Hey guys, I figured I’d poke my head back into forum land again today to throw up this warning really quick. I’ve been getting a bunch of ads for yo-yos on this website called “[totafind.com](http://totafind.com)” (I know it’s against forum policy to link to other shops, but this thread is about exposing this one as a scam. Feel free to take it down/modify as needed) They had some advertising for good but believable sales on yo-yos stuff. Like Kitty String first class for $22.50 instead of $30. Well priced yo-yos gloves. Things like that. I checked out the website some more, and found some other good deals on really boutique and obscure yo-yos, surprisingly. But when I first realized this was a scam, was when I saw them “selling” name brand titanium’s for under $100. Advertising RSO droids for $98. I then checked their listed address, and saw that it’s some random apartment rental agency in Massachusetts. Also, as of last night, they don’t use PayPal. So yeah. Clearly a scam, but a well done one in a lot of ways. They have some pretty obscure models up, and do a good job of drawing you in with ads for deals that aren’t too unbelievable. It’s probably run by someone who’s familiar with the yo-yo scene. I don’t know about you, but I’ll stick to getting my stuff from YoYoExpert :+1: ---

Had I had saw that one and tried finding anything about it and seems like nothing is out there. Then i noticed there are things on there that have been sold out all over for a long while like the loop 2020 and the al el mijos and other really obscure yoyos that i just can’t Imagin how they would have them. I sent them a message from there contact info but no reply. I’m assuming a scam too cause for the prices they are selling things at its too good to be true and honestly how would they make a profit at some of the “discounts” they are throwing out. All screams not a real deal and probably would get a box of rocks if your lucky ---

Yup, checking DNS records is always a good tool to spot things like this. Created on 2023-04-18 Expires on 2024-04-18 Very new domain, expires in 1 year (the minimum amount of time). It’s very easy to create a website, so this is a good thing to look at for any website you haven’t heard of. ---

I did about 5 days ago, I got advertised The Alpine for 98 bucks and it immediately seemed super sketch lol. I looked it up and it’s not even a legit business it looks like it’s ran out of an apartment complex. Glad you posted this, looks like others are being targeted as well ---

Yes, this is just one piece of a pretty large scam campaign. Don’t harass any of the addresses/numbers on the sites they’re all just randomly pulled from public info. From a very cursory glance, here’s a list of domains involved (note these are all scams), you’ll pick up on the pattern pretty quickly. ```plaintext https://www.ramodeal.c*m/ https://www.totafind.c*m/ https://www.tanasale.c*m/ https://www.rabentrade.c*m/ https://www.dowintrading.c*m/ https://www.gozetop.c*m/ https://www.ralestocks.c*m/ https://www.zeneauto.c*m/ https://www.dasamalls.c*m/ https://www.dasafind.c*m/ https://www.gomomalls.c*m/ https://www.dosafun.c*m/ https://www.basasale.c*m/ https://www.sazabiz.c*m/ https://www.taledeal.c*m/ ``` And that’s only the first ones I saw, I think there’s at least 50. Stay safe everyone! Don’t buy products from websites that clearly aren’t run by humans! ---

Solid strategy. Let’s all pump like 600 dollar yoyo orders into the site. (Totally not a totatind plant) But like seriously don’t do that.
