I haven't seen it pop up on this forum, but a couple of people on other forums have been asking about a facebook ad deal that seems to be in a lot of people's feeds. It's from Dealoy and appears to offer Arai Corsair V's and GoPros for crazy low pricing. DON'T BE FOOLED! It's a 100% scam.
It seems to be a sort of Groupon type arrangement. While, it should be obvious that it's too good to be true, it's well presented. It even had me wondering if there was somehow a distributor going out of business or something. The price is well below what any dealer can get them for. So it almost had to be either someone stole a container of them, they are counterfeit, or they don't exist at all, or something. So, we spoke to Arai this morning and they've also been in touch with GoPro about it already, too. It's absolutely a scam. The website is out of Bulgaria. The helmets don't exist. GoPro has dealt with them before and they are in the process of trying to shut them down again. They tell you that your helmet will ship in a couple of weeks and that buys them the time for the transactions to clear, withdraw the funds and disappear. Anyway, bottom line, if it's too good to be true....Spread the word that it's entirely a scam if you see anyone asking about the cheap Corsair V's and GoPros advertised on facebook.
