Dear runners, recently, we have become aware of deceptive online practices involving the fraudulent use of our brand. We want to inform you about how to protect your shopping experience and identify online scams.

How to Recognize a Scam:

  • Unauthorized Websites: Always check the website URL. Make sure you are on our official website, misterrunning.com , and not on similar websites or clones. Please note that many scams we have noticed create a site similar to ours using our unauthorized logo to deceive. These sites can also use similar URLs to trick users.
  • Secure Payment Methods: We use payment methods such as PayPal and Afterpay , which offer purchase protection. Please ensure you only transact through safe and reliable channels.
  • Content Control: Carefully check the content of the website. Online scams often feature spelling errors, low-quality images, and inconsistent information.
  • Offers Too Good to Be True on social media: You can find great deals here, but if you come across offers that seem incredibly discounted to be true, they could be scams. Avoid clicking on the ad and always verify the authenticity of the offer, also checking the ad profile, before proceeding.
  • Beware of Fake Social Profiles: Many online scams start through fake social profiles that use our branding to promote deceptive offers. Make sure you only follow our real social media profiles to receive authentic updates about our offers and promotions.

How to Protect Yourself

  • Check URL: before making a purchase, check the website URL and make sure you are on our official website, misterrunning.com.
  • Report Suspicious Activity: if you encounter a suspicious website or receive unusual offers via social media, please report it immediately to the relevant authorities and to ourselves.
  • Contact Customer Service: if you have any doubts about the legitimacy of an offer or website, please contact us directly through our official customer support channels. You can find our phone number, our reviews on Trustpilot and the contact page on our website.
