WARNING! SCAM ALERT!
I am SO FREAKING SICK of seeing ads from Chinese clothing companies in my Facebook feed, LEGIT OPENLY LYING about where their clothes are from.
The latest? Klynu. I see ads for this place pop up a lot, and they are REALLY good at drawing me in because social algorithms have figured out what kind of clothes I like. I’m a HUGE fan of dresses – and unfortunately since I work at home (often in my jammies), I don’t have a lot of opportunities to WEAR dresses, but I love them and I buy them and try to wear them out to dinner every now and then. And this dress? Well, it’s right up my alley.
See at the bottom where it says “Made in South Carolina, US?” The first time I saw an ad from Klynu that said that, I was immediately intrigued, since of course I’m not only a fan of dresses but I’m also a fan of South Carolina, and I LOVED the idea of supporting a store that manufactured in my future home state.
But the website seemed sketch immediately. US store websites don’t typically have the tell-tale currency drop down menu at the top. And when stuff is made in South Carolina, the shipping information definitely doesn’t sound like this.
Why would there be shipping delays TO the US, FROM the US? That makes no sense.
Their website looks exactly like about 147 kabillion other Chinese clothing websites. They’re all renowned for having amazing looking clothing photos, super cheap pricing, and the literal WORST customer service and return policies ever. In other words, they’re scams. And they’re Chinese scams, which makes them extra awful.
But what makes me most angry about Klynu is their outright lie about where they make their clothing. DON’T BRING MY FUTURE HOME STATE INTO THIS, Klynu.
I’ve tried commenting on some of their FB posts to alert some of the less scam-savvy folks out there that it’s a big fat lie, and those comments are always deleted. So I thought, maybe I should just write about it on a platform that I know will get eyeballs and where I know it won’t be deleted by the Klynu liars.
So here we are.
If you don’t wanna take it from me, here are a bunch of other folks saying the exact same thing.

I mean, I could go on and on with these. The point is, you should ALWAYS double check any site you buy from – especially if you see it on a social media platform – to see if it’s legit. Looking at the shipping information is a great way to see if they’re on the up and up.
Klynu is a scam, and I’m super stoked to tag them in the caption of this post on social media, so that they see that I’m onto them, and everyone else will be onto them too.
By the way, if you missed my recent experience entertaining a scammer over email, check that out right here.

I don’t trust anything advertised on Facebook! I remember seeing ads for amazing whirligig things with fairies on them for something like $39.99. They were amazing. But I heard from others it was a big scam. When I want to check on something for sale on Facebook, I look up their website independently. That dress is adorable! I can see why it caught your eye.
Daughter bought a wedding dress online. It took weeks to arrive, looked absolutely nothing like the photo (UGLY, UGLY, UGLY and cheap looking.) It didn’t even fit. It took a few months, but she finally got her money back after returning it. (She can be very persistent.) Lesson learned.
Get a different browser, and, probably, search engine! $20 says you use Chrome and Google search.
Vivaldi or Brave for a browser, pretty much anything else for search (I’m partial to duckduckgo, but some people don’t like it).
I don’t know how people use the internet without adblock, anti-tracking, etc.
Thanks for the tip. I just think my wife would flip out if she found out I was ordering dresses online, especially if they were not in her size-which is something I don’t know and I am not yet stupid enough to try and guess. I find that with clothes even though I like certain styles I keep those opinions to myself, the best thing to do is just give her money and she can go buy what she wants.
Speaking of clothes, I did ask my wife once how the outfit I was wearing looked. Tee shirt and shorts. I was trying to find out if they matched. She said, “You look like a gorilla.” I said a gorilla, and she said,” I meant that in a nice way.” I am still trying to figure out how it is a compliment to tell your longsuffering, mistreated husband he looks like a gorilla. LOL
A few weeks later, I am sitting in a chair in the living room innocently watching TV, when this little banana is dangling in my face and I am hearing grunting noises like Tim Allen makes. I look over and my wife, with a big smirk on her face, has one of those thin cat poles with a small fake banana on a long string tied to it. Somehow, I am now officially married to a comedian and the jokes have just kept on coming for the last 30 plus years.
Another sign of the chinese sites is the grammer in their descriptions they just dont read right
