Beware of Scam Sites

Beware of Scam Sites

Over the years, as Truffaux has grown, something unexpected and oddly flattering has happened — we’ve been copied. So now, you have to not only look out for the cheap tourist hats, but also places masquerading as reputable manufacturers. It is a tricky time.

All across the internet, you’ll now find fake websites pretending to sell our hats — especially the beloved New Yorker. There are pictures of me all over their webpages, they mimic our descriptions, and undercut our prices in ways too good to be true. That’s because they are.

All of these sites are carefully constructed scams - selling hats from reputable manufacturers, but delivering cheap Chinese paper junk. Then you go through the rounds of refunds and discounts, until you finally give up, and they keep your money. They do not have any of the hats they are advertising - but they are very convincing.

💡 A Compliment in Disguise

Honestly, I take it as a compliment. If people are copying you, you must be doing something right. But still, I want you to know exactly where you are.

You're in the right place.

This is the home of Truffaux. Every hat you see here is made with care, designed with integrity, and backed by years of love, obsession, and adventure.

We fit them by hand. We pack them ourselves. We speak to you like real humans. And we stand behind every crown and brim we send into the world.

🚫 Scam Sites to Avoid

We’re working hard to take them down (which is almost impossible), but for now, please steer clear of these sites:

  • randshatworks.com – Uses our photos and descriptions without permission. Not associated with Truffaux in any way.

  • various Amazon & eBay listings – Some second-hand hats are genuine, but many are fake or incorrectly described.

  • rockhatters.com - absolute scam site, beware
  • tiendahat.com - scammers
  • grimhat.com - older one that has been scamming for years
  • There are literally hundreds of them now - they popup on Facebook a lot
  • Feel free to send us links if you're unsure.

✔️ How to Know It's a Real Truffaux Hat

  • We only sell through www.truffaux.com and our flagship store in Olinda, Australia and selected retailers.

  • Every hat comes with our Truffaux badge, custom-fitted care, and a touch of magic.

  • If you’re ever uncertain, email us. We love talking hats, and we’ll tell you if it’s real.
