Hamashbir Warns of Fraudulent Kenneth Cole Website Targeting Israeli Shoppers
Israeli retail chain Hamashbir warns consumers of a fraudulent website, kennethcoleonline.shop, impersonating the Kenneth Cole fashion brand to steal credit card details.
The Israeli department store chain Hamashbir has issued an urgent warning to consumers regarding a fraudulent website impersonating the official online store of the fashion brand Kenneth Cole. According to the company, the fake website operates under the domain kennethcoleonline.shop and uses the brand's name and graphic elements to deceive unsuspecting shoppers into making fictitious purchases or disclosing sensitive personal and credit card information.
Hamashbir's management clarified that this website is completely unaffiliated with the Kenneth Cole brand or the retail chain. Consumers are urged not to conduct any transactions on this platform and to refrain from entering payment details. The company has initiated legal and technical actions with relevant authorities to block and shut down the fraudulent site.
Galit Peleg, Deputy CEO of Kenneth Cole in Israel, addressed the scam, emphasizing that customer protection and secure shopping remain the company's top priorities. She urged the public to remain highly vigilant and to purchase exclusively through the brand's official and secured channels.
