Fake ads using OcUK branding on Instgram

[DELETED_209647]

Hi guys

Wanted to email OcUK directly but can’t find email address. There is someone using a fake OCUK website on an Instagram ad and thought the team would want to know.

I have some screenshots. I’ve seen a few of these fake sales pages imitating big sites for shoes and clothes, but this is the first time I’ve seen it for PC bits.

Can’t seem to attach them here

They've been doing the rounds on Facebook. I do believe that OcUK are aware and trying furiously to deal with it.

Didn't we have this thread a couple of days ago?

I know these guys are trying to help, but I'm a bit suspicious of the fact that both threads are posted by new accounts.

I bought an RTX2080TI Smart watch from OCUK Facebook site, can't wait for it to turn up

IMO they are legit guys just trying to give a heads up.


OP if you are a legit guy thanks for taking the time to sign up.



It is possible that the ads are being targeted to people who have been visiting PC hardware websites like ocuk and competitors. Customers recognise it, they care about the brands because they are customers, and are thus inclined to report it.

Shop staff are aware of the problem. Thanks for raising it
