Confirmed by the UK distributor of Giro products, Zyro Fisher. This very convincing website offers up some extremely attractive deals on Giro gear but don’t be fooled.
The genuine website for UK customers is giro.co.uk
The scam website was first registered in 2023 by a Pakistan based domain registration company called PakNic. The owner of the site remains unknown.
Singletrack Forum users reported problems with the site on our sticky offers PSA thread and it’s likely fraudulent too good to be true offers.
What’s the scam?
The website is extremely well presented and professional looking and you would be easily fooled into thinking this was a genuine Giro retail website. From forum user reports who have attempted to buy products from the site it appears that transactions are being declined when users enter address information. This would suggest the scam could be related to collecting large numbers of credit card details. Scammers will often do this and then sell lists of valid credit card numbers on the black market.
If you have got to the stage of entering card details on a site like that that subsequently rejects your order it would be prudent to call your bank and get the card replaced.
