Cyclists hoping to snag some post-Christmas bargains have been warned that a website purporting to belong to British premium cycling clothing company Rapha – and offering massive discounts as part of an apparent “year-end clearance sale” – is a scam engineered to gather unsuspecting customers’ credit card details.
Rapha says it is aware of a “recent surge” in fake websites bearing the brand’s name, and is currently working to have the scam sites removed as quickly as possible.
The latest website in question, raphacycling-sale.shop, was first registered on 30 December 2024 by Hong Kong-based domain registration company West263 International, and appears to be owned by a user based in the Chinese province of Jiangxi.
