I was going to order a pair of NRS Boundary Socks and instead of ending up at NRS.com I ended up at NRSOutdoorSafety.com

What's the difference? Or is NRS Outdoor Safety a scam site? If not, why the two sites?

Looks like a scam, or at best a reseller. The nrsoutdoorsafety.com domain name is registered in China and has been around less than a year. The nrs.com domain is registered in California since 1995.

Thanks. I've placed a fair number of orders with NRS so this new web site caught me by surprise. Glad I caught it though.

Looks like NRS doesn't it. Not sure I would have caught it.

I was just doing some window shopping at NRS and came across this page:

How To Detect a Fraudulent NRS Website or eCommerce Store

Learn to identify counterfeit and fraudulent NRS websites and ads, resolve disputes with credit card companies, and protect yourself from scammers posing as NRS dealers.

www.nrs.com

It must be a significant problem if they are posting public warning pages.
