Retailer Warns of Fake Kenneth Cole Website Stealing Customer Funds

The Mashbir retail chain has issued an unusual public warning regarding a fraudulent website impersonating the official Kenneth Cole brand in Israel. The fake site uses the brand's name and identifying elements to deceive consumers into making purchases or providing personal and credit card details, potentially leading to theft.

Mashbir emphasized that the fake website has no affiliation with Kenneth Cole or the retail chain itself. They are urging the public not to conduct any transactions or enter personal or payment information on the fraudulent site. The company is actively working with relevant authorities to have the site removed.

Galit Peled, Deputy CEO of Kenneth Cole Israel, stated, "It is important for us to protect customers and allow them to purchase with confidence. We are working to remove the impersonating site and urge the public to be vigilant and make purchases only through the brand's official channels."

Mashbir further advises consumers to carefully verify website addresses before making purchases and to avoid entering personal or credit card information on sites not recognized as official brand channels.
