Fake ON Gold Standard Whey on Shopee
Warning all to double check the shops you are buying from on Shopee.
This one is named “Optimal Nutrition SG Store” and I saw that vouchers/flash deal brought the price down to 183 for 2 5lbs tubs..
I only realised later than there is another legit shop, and this one has only got 20 followers.
Tubs arrived poorly boxed.
Compared to an obviously authentic tub I am consuming now:
- sticker colour looks off (lacks pop)
- scratch authentication is printed but not scratch-able, QR too blurry to be scanned. So no code for verification
- other authentication features don’t check out

I sent a message to ON customer service asking for manual authentication, no response - but at this point I’m pretty sure.
I’ve request return on Shopee, and they are reviewing.. sent seller message and got garbage responses.
I’m guessing some people might be entirely duped, so have a laugh on me. Cheers.
Update:
- Shopee refund is approved, I’m left w the 2 fake tubs
- filed report on Shopee against seller + shop is shut down
- filed report to HSA/SFA
- For those that chimed in just to say they never got scammed, and how I should have done it differently. I just want to say that you sooo clever.. that aside, thanks to those that offered constructive tips and support.
