He olive oileven more so if it is extra virgin, it is a product whose price usually gives something to talk about, at least in Spain. This highly sought-after product is also used to try to scam consumers. Fake ads with offers like 5 liters of oil for 39.99 euros and fraudulent online stores that collect your personal and banking information These are some of the cases for which you have asked the Maldita.es WhatsApp chatbot (+34 644 229 319).
In some cases, they also take advantage of the fact that the original websites they are trying to impersonate also show offers or promotions. For example, a Facebook ad from an account that supposedly belongs to The English Court and that shows the Oleoestepa brand extra virgin olive oil on sale at 19.99 euros, ensuring that Before it cost 51.20 euros.
You can see the logo in the ad. of El Corte Inglés and is linked to a website whose URL is www(.)elcorteingleseus(.)com. But neither the page nor the account that spreads the advertisement have any relationship with the Spanish department store company. Furthermore, the company has stated in Twitter (now X) that “the image sent is foreign to El Corte Inglés“.
Another case is that of fraudulent online stores that pose as the Coosur brand. Maldita.es have been asked about two that appear with the name “coosur-es”.
The first has already been disabled. The second, however, uses the Coosur logo and imitates its design, but the images do not have the same resolution and when searching for the URL record we see that it was created on November 16, 2024. Furthermore, when reviewing the “legal notice”, mention is made of the company Oleoestepa, different and unrelated to Coosur.
