Warning regarding phishing attacks from the domain "billigaskyltar.shop"

FRAUD WARNING WEBSITE
BEWARE OF "cheapsigns.shop"
 
I have just found out that there is an external actor who has purchased the domain "billigaskyltar.shop" and is imitating our online store "BilligaSkyltar.se" in the hope of deceiving people out of both money and private information such as passwords and the like.
Their website is filled with viruses trying to access your computer and network. I confirmed this myself when I was on the website a while ago and my antivirus warned of at least a dozen phishing attacks, also called online phishing. See the screenshot below for confirmation of this.

This is extremely sad to see, not because of how it affects me as a business owner but because of how it can affect you as private individuals. It is your money and information that can be hijacked. Therefore, you must contact me immediately at info@billigaskyltar.se if you have had any type of interaction with this website and tell me what happened so I know about it and can help you if something has happened.

I am now reporting this website to all relevant authorities and companies and have just filed a police report. My hope is that I will be able to get them off the internet as soon as possible. I will come back with more information on this as soon as I know more.

Until then, I ask you to be extra careful with which links you click on via Google, as it is primarily via Google's search function that they appear. Do not click on a link that ends in ".shop", has broken Swedish, lacks characters or has prices in Euro. If you are careful, you will quickly see that it is fake as they have done a really terrible job of copying our website. I am attaching some screenshots from the website so you know what to watch out for and so you can see for yourself how absurd this is and what a bad job these idiots have done.


Above you have an example of their fake links via Google Images and Google Products. I have circled in red all the products that are fake. You can see from the "Favicon" that something is wrong as they lack our symbol, that they are just called "cheap signs" and from their prices but otherwise it is difficult to see the difference so be extra careful when you use these features on Google in the future.

Below is an example of a Google search. I searched for "cheap signs" and you can see the difference between our website and their ".shop" version. Much easier to tell that something is wrong here but be careful anyway.

TO EXPLAIN
This has no impact on the security of "BilligaSkyltar.se". You can still shop with us without any worries, but it is only links that end in ".shop" that you should beware of and you will only find these if you type it into your browser or if you click on one of these links via Google's various search functions.

Therefore, take care of yourself and be careful when surfing the internet and I will get back to you as soon as I know more about this.
