DO NOT SHOP FROM THIS WEBSITE. IT IS FAKE.

I almost fell for this scam. When a certain brand is extremely popular, scammers will set up a fake website to appeal to shoppers from a certain country - in this case, Canada. They probably know that Canadians_loathe_ shopping from outside Canada, due to our country's draconian import taxes (ugh!). So they set up a very legitimate-looking 'Canadian' website, to draw us in as marks. "Oh, look! Kipling has a Canadian website, so we won't have to pay import duties - yay!" NOPE.

Here's how I found out: I Googled "Kipling bags" looking for their official website, and KiplingCanada.com came up at the very top. But when I tried to go to to the site, my antivirus software (Bitdefender free version, I love you) gave me a_huge_ warning page notifying me that this is a 'phishing site' that will try to steal my financial information!

I got worried, so I went to the the official American website, Kipling-USA.com and went on the live chat. I was able to speak to a live agent, and I asked them about this Canadian website. They told me that KiplingCanada.com is_not_ one of their legitimate websites. They assured me that they will report the fake website to their superiors.

The live chat agent also gave me the official link that shows all current legitimate Kipling websites around the world. So be sure to go via this web portal, rather than just Googling for a Kipling site.

In the meantime I'm worried that other people might get duped (as I so nearly was), so I am leaving warning reviews to let other Canadians know_not_ to shop at KiplingCanada.com! Be careful, everybody, and stay safe.
