Gemiful Gems Scam Exposed
Hello Everyone
Today I want to talk about a scam that has been bought to my attention by a fellow member of the WA community. I advise everyone to be careful of these types of scams so you don't get scammed and loose money.
Gemiful Gems is an eCommerce website which sells jewellery and at first glance it looks like a really good and legit website. There are even 5 star testimonials on the homepage. But all is not as it seems.
The Red Flags
The first red flag I noticed is they did not say who they were and didn't give any information about their business. They also didn't say much about their products.
The discounts and giveaways are common with scammers. There are some legit affiliate products where the buyer just has to pay for shipping but this not an affiliate product. It's a fake scam website that wants to get your money.
The next red flag is the spamming they are doing. Gemiful Gems uses more than one instagram account to send spam messages to a lot of people and wants to offer them free products if the person pays for shipping or wants to collaborate with them.
Legit companies don't spam people with comments and messages asking them to collaborate and become an ambassador for them. A legit company also would not offer free products and ask you to pay the shipping.
If they really wanted to give you free products they would pay for shipping to and most legit companies I have seen will pay you to collaborate with you. The free products they are offering are a part of the scam and a way to try to bait you into giving them money.
You then would not get your products and if by some chance you did they would be something very cheap and poor quality from somewhere like China or another country that produces similar poor quality products.
It was also pointed out to me by a fellow WA member that the company is swpping GB pounds to USD in thier comments. This is not so much a red flags as all the other things I discussed so far but it doesn't look very professional to say the least.
As you can probably tell by now Gemiful Gems is a scam and a waste of time.
I'd be very careful with this website and don't give them any details or money. Always check websites out before considering signing up for something or purchasing something.
Don't give them any details or money until you know for sure if it is legit or not. Remember if it seems too good to be true it probably is.
My Findings
It has a lot of 1 star reviews on trustpilot with many reviewers saying they got the same messages on instagram from the same accounts. I also found that Scam Detector gives it a mediocre rating and found some suspicious links associated with the Gemiful Gems website.
That's what I found out from about 5 to 10 minutes of searching Google. After looking into it further I have discovered some more customer reviews and one in particular caught my eye.
The customer used a promo code on the website that Gemiful Gems sent her on instagram and paid for shipping for 3 free items. She never got her order and could not get in contact with the company. There was no answer on the phone or via email or instagram.
Therefore she lost the money which was $38 and this proves that this website is a scam. Don't purchase any thing from them and don't respond to their messages if you get any.
All in all Gemiful Gems is a scam and you should not trust them and do not engage with them or purchase anything from them under any circumstances.
Conclusion
Overall Gemiful Gems is a scam and you should not trust them. All of the red flag and findings I have shared here were just from spending a short time of less than 30 minutes looking into the company. If I took a lot more time and did a deep dive into this company I'd probably find a lot more evidence.
I hope this was useful and helps someone. I know this is not my usual type of post on my WA blog but I hate bullies and scammers and I enjoy exposing them. I like helping people and most all keeping them safe from scam. I do this as a part of one of my online businesses as well.
Finally I would like to say thank you to nevenats for bringing this scam to the attention of the WA community in your question earlier today. I would also like to thank everyone else that shared their thoughts on this scam as well. Stay safe everyone and don't get scammed.
Thank you for reading and I look forward to hearing your thoughts in the comments.

Okay, one more reason to work with merchants on quality networks. Those merchants have been vetted before they got on the platform. I can't say too much, just that I agree with Timothy - be very careful when you work with an in-house program. And if it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't.
dealing with scammers, they do not like it when you ask questions. do not give them answers, just ask stupid simple questions, eventually they will move on and go away. We would get so many phone scammers where they say we've won the lottery -- afraid not people, one needs to buy a lottery ticket in order to win.
trust no one, unless you know what's up.
Yes you're right Denise. Whenever I asked scammers questions they get annoyed with me and try hard to prove they are legit. I also get a lot of phone scammers and email scammers claiming I have won money, a phone or some other prize.
I also get a lot of phone scammers calling me about the electricity or solar claiming I'm eligible for rebates, cheaper prices or free solar panels. I always tell them I'm not the homeowner so I can't have solar. Which is true as I live in a rental house.
But this annoys them and they always say ok sorry to bother you and they hang up. If they call about the electricity I tell them I'll call my electricity provider to confirm what they are saying is true and that makes them angry and they usually hang up.
As for the email scams I get I usually just ignore but I still get them daily. You should see my junk folder in my email lol. I don't trust people easily anymore. I even find myself getting suspicious of and questioning legit people.
I'm glad you liked my post. Thank you for reading and for taking the time to comment and share thoughts. All the best to your success.
