If you have not read or do not want to read the previous post – here is a brief recap. At the beginning of December 2009, UK Police and Trading Standards, with the help of Nominet were able to close more than 1200 websites selling fake ghd hair straighteners. This was great news and helped to prevent many more people from being ripped off over the Christmas period. For those of you who do not know, Nominet is the UK is the Registry for all domain names ending in .uk – basically if you want to run a website with a .uk domain, one way or another it has to be handled through them, even if another hosting registers it on your behalf. Due to Nominet powers, the UK Police were able to shut down any websites selling fake website.

So, thats great you might think, all the websites selling counterfeit ghd straighteners have been shut down right? WRONG!!!! There is nothing to stop these websites from transfering there websites to a new domain name ending with .com, .net, .org, .info and so on. Nominet have no control of the registration of these domain names and a as a results there is nothing to stop the counterfeiting setting up a website and hosting it in a foergign country. So, just be aware, there are still plenty of Fake ghd Websites out there selling straighteners who are using a non UK governed domain name and as far as I am aware, no one has the power to reulate them.

Please be aware that detectives have warned no-one has yet been arrested and the gangs operating the scam are still at large, this is due to fact that many of the fake operations operate outside of UK jurisdiction. These website domains and accounts have now been frozen and if you try and visit these websites, you get a message saying either the url is invalid or the site cannot be found. Please beware thought that these people, mate try and set up new websites, so please, please, please…only buy from approved ghd stockists, such as the one’s listed on this website.

Experts at Scotland Yard found hundreds of websites run by fakers selling the fake goods in Asia. They conned shoppers into thinking they were dealing with British sites because their addresses ended “.co.uk”. The crooks offered discount designer goods including GHD Hair Straighteners, Ugg Boots, Tiffany & Co and Links Of London jewellery.

This is good news for consumers that action has been taken. If you have recently purchased from a website that has been shut down you should contact your credit card company ASAP and try and cancel the transaction. For more advice, also try and get in contact with Consumer Direct on 08454 040506
