... which lists every known Chinese scam site.
And to add a note about paypal:
That is exactly right. Whenever someone makes you e-mail to find out their eBay account name or their paypal ID... RUN!
Paypal has a safe, secure on-line shopping cart system. There is no reason for this company to hide their paypal account.
Also, when you find something for 1/10th of what it currently sells for in your local store, be careful. It really is true that if something seems too good to be true, it usually is.
If you are happy with a fake purse, bag, jacket or whatever, then by all means go to your local flea market and buy something like this. Even buy a fake on-line if it makes you happy, but know that it isn't legal and if the site is busted while your money is there, it is gone forever.
One more thing: Fake name brand clothing, shoes, jeans, etc... can vary wildly in quality. Most things like this are very low quality. Low enough that anyone who has ever seen a real Prada tote will laugh when they see your copy.
I have seen some of these where the liners were made out of paper/cardboard with fuzzy fabric hot-glued to it. Expect that to last about a week.
As for dayhug.com being a scam? Well, do I think that CHANEL knows that they are selling their products and are happy about it? No, of course not.
Do they actually send you anything if you send them money? Well, I wouldn't send them a money order no matter what you did, but if they do actually have a paypal account, and you do buy something, paypal will give you your money back if they fail to deliver it.
Beware: They may get out of that by saying that it was detained at customs or lost in shipping.
Now you know the risks involved. I hope you make a smart decision.

Hey there, I could be wrong, but you might be the same person as asked this question last year:

I answered it there too, but just to be sure I went ahead and looked at dayhug.com again just to see if it had magically turned into an honest, reputable company in the last 10 months.
It hasn't. It's still a scam. At very best they are selling counterfeits, but it seems most likely they just take people's money.
Here is the answer I gave way back then...
"They can afford [to sell product that cheaply], because they don't actually deliver any product. They just take people's money.
That is a scam site.
How can I be so sure? It's easier than you'd think.
There is no shopping cart. They ask you to e-mail them orders. E-mail is not a secure way to handle a transaction and even very small wholesalers tend to avoid that. The nonsense that a programmer steals information from it, is just that: complete nonsense. How come other sites seem to be able to hire reliable, honest programmers if this huge wholesaler cannot? That is clue number one.
They do no allow you to pay with paypal from their site. Setting up a paypal merchant account is really, really simple.
They claim they have a paypal account, but they make you e-mail them for details. They just expect you to trust 'em when they say they are a reliable paypal merchant, but they don't provide public proof of it. That is seriously sketchy. There is really only one reason for them to require you to e-mail them to access their paypal account information: they are lying about their track record, even worse they might regularly make new PayPal accounts, to keep ahead of the complaints and reports. That's clue number two.
Finally, they accept money orders and wire transfers. NEVER, EVER buy online from anyone who suggests you send them a money order. Ebay banned Money orders as a payment types years ago because of all the scams and abuse. A money order is a cheque that anyone who has the password can cash. Once you give someone the money order information, they just go and cash it. If you complain to the bank or provider that someone didn't send you what they promised, they will shrug their shoulders and say "But you gave them the Money order password. That's not our fault." Money orders are also virtually untraceable. They are the favourite payment option for scam artists and thieves. And that is the clue that absolutely cinches it.
When something looks too good to be true, it probably is."
