Hikevibes.com—scam or legit?

I saw an ad about product testing for Hikevibes.com and I’m not sure if it’s trustworthy. They offer product testing but at half price, not free. There are already a lot of reviews for the product, but all are from this year. Does anyone have any experience with this site? Any insights would be great!

It’s probably a scam. Real product testing programs don’t ask you to pay, even at a discount. If they want half price, that’s a major warning sign. Plus, the site was registered just a few weeks ago and hides its owner info using domain privacy services. :triangular_flag_on_post:

Their Instagram page looks like it’s been active for four years and has decent engagement. The shop link is in their bio, so it could be someone trying to monetize a popular Instagram with some basic ‘outdoor’ merch. The $30 T-shirts do seem overpriced. Also, the website’s ‘about us’ mentions their Instagram origins, but there’s no direct link to the page. Odd.

Forgot to mention—the ‘pay to test’ part? Big no.
