Dear Valued Customers and Community,

We at Infectious Clothing Company are raising awareness about an alarming issue that has come to our attention. It has been brought to our notice that 2 scam websites, shopinfectious.shop, and infectious.shop have cloned hundreds of our exclusive products. We are deeply concerned by this fraudulent activity and the potential confusion it may cause among our loyal customers.

The Red Flags of a Scam Website:

Our Genuine Attributes:

When shopping for the top-quality scrubs and medical apparel that Infectious is known for, please ensure you visit our legitimate website: infectious.com.au. Our website is the only place online where you can find our unique combination of:

  • The official Infectious logo: Our logo is a mark of quality and trust that has been associated with our products for years.
  • The distinctive pill favicon: This small but significant icon in your browser tab is a testament to our brand identity.
  • Authorised supplier logos: We take pride in our partnerships, and only on our actual website will you see the logos of our esteemed suppliers.

Warning Signs on the Scam Site:

Conversely, the scam sites shopinfectious.shop and infectious.shop lack these crucial details:

  • No genuine Infectious logo: The absence of our official logo is a clear indicator that the site is not affiliated with us.
  • Missing pill favicon: This detail, though small, confirms the authenticity of our brand's online presence.
  • Limited and illogical navigation: The layout of the counterfeit site is limited in options but also needs to follow a logical flow, making it hard for customers to find what they need.
  • No name on the SSL certificate
  • No links in the social icons
  • No contact phone number or email address only webform

How to Stay Safe:

Verify the URL: Always double-check the URL to make sure you are on infectious.com.au. Scammers often use deceptive URLs that appear similar to the legitimate ones.
