Scams

 

The purpose of this page is to expose the scams and cheats we know are currently circulating the web. You will see similar exposés on pages from other doll manufacturers as well. The unfortunate explosion of these exploitative sites is damaging to our entire industry so everyone has to work together to stop it.

NOTE: DO NOT GO TO THE SITES BELOW!
These URLS are provided so that you know what to avoid. Many scam sites have hidden software that can get into your computer to cause havoc even if you just click the link. For your own safety, please do NOT go to these sites and put yourself at risk.

We all know that the internet has plenty of great things, and plenty of bad things. Fears about viruses and malware are growing as the risk of infection or identity theft increases. There are certain bits of logic your mom taught you that you should always keep in mind when looking at things online:

1)    If it looks too good to be true, it probably is!

2)    Not everyone tells the truth

And a new one that parents of the internet age have to teach

3)    Just because it is on the internet doesn’t make it true!

In fact, MOST things on the internet are not verified at all. Anyone can hide behind a screen name to say whatever they want. Studies and research show that dishonesty, false personas, identity theft and other internet crimes are increasing because internet users are desensitized and don’t have to meet each other face-to-face.

As with everything else in the real world, please exercise caution and logic when viewing things on the internet. If you see something for $900 that you know costs thousands elsewhere, it’s pretty obvious you’re going to get ripped off if you send $900.

Also, check country of origin! Sinthetics is a DBA of LHI Arts & Entertainment, Inc.

Please do NOT order Sinthetics through this person. We can ship directly to Japan, or you can use our registered reseller in Taiwan for assistance.
