How do I know I'm buying from an official Shakti website?Updated a month ago

Unfortunately, fraudulent websites that copy the look and feel of legitimate brands are increasingly common. Here are a few simple checks that can help you shop with confidence.

Start with the website's URL:

Fraudulent sites often use slight misspellings or variations of a brand's real domain name, like adding a hyphen or swapping a letter. Always check you're on the exact official address before entering any payment details. Shakti has 6 stores that cover all of the territories we operate in. Every URL starts with https://

- USA: shaktimat.com

- UK: shaktimat.co.uk

- CA: shaktimat.ca

- EU: shaktimat.eu

- AU: shaktimats.com.au

- NZ: shaktimat.co.nz

Check their social handles:

A genuine brand will have an established presence with a real posting history and authentic engagement from their community. A brand new account with few followers or no content is worth treating with caution.

Think critically about the price:

Deep discounts like 80% off or sitewide clearance sales are rarely how genuine retailers operate, and they're a common tactic used to create urgency and lure shoppers in. If a deal looks unusually good compared to the brand's own website, that's a signal to pause.

If you're still unsure, consider paying credit card or PayPal. Both offer meaningful buyer protection if a purchase turns out to be fraudulent.
