The Short Answer: An Unfamiliar 'CurrentBody' Deal Site Is Likely Fake

CurrentBody is a real skincare-technology retailer that sells through currentbody.com and a limited number of authorized retail partners. Its LED face masks and skin devices retail for $200–$500, which makes them an attractive target for scammers — the price gap between a 'discounted' fake and the real thing is large enough to be tempting, and large enough to be a serious loss if you're scammed.

If you've seen an ad for a CurrentBody device at 60–80% off through a domain you don't recognize, treat it as fake until you've verified the domain yourself. High-value beauty tech and skincare devices are among the most commonly counterfeited product categories in fake-store scams precisely because the discount feels believable at that price point.

How the Fake CurrentBody Store Scam Works

Step 1 — The ad. A Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok ad shows a CurrentBody LED mask at a steep discount, using real product photography, and links to a domain like currentbody-outlet.com or currentbody-sale.shop rather than currentbody.com.

Step 2 — The storefront. The site mimics CurrentBody's clean, clinical branding, complete with a working cart, checkout, and often copied testimonials referencing skin results.

Step 3 — The checkout. You enter your card details and shipping address. As with any fake store, HTTPS encryption on the checkout page says nothing about whether the seller behind it is legitimate.

Step 4 — The outcome. Victims commonly report receiving nothing, receiving a cheap unbranded LED device that isn't a real CurrentBody product (and may not meet the same safety standards for a device used on skin), or discovering unauthorized charges on their card afterward.

Red Flags to Check Before You Buy

1. The domain isn't currentbody.com. Treat any variation as a red flag.

2. A discount of 60% or more on a device that normally retails for hundreds of dollars. CurrentBody rarely discounts its flagship devices that steeply.

3. Pressure tactics — countdown timers, 'only 2 left,' 'sale ends tonight.'

4. No clear return policy or physical business address.

5. A recently registered domain — check with a WHOIS lookup, or paste the URL into Scam Detective, which flags domain age and impersonation signals automatically.

What to Do If You Already Paid

1. Contact your bank or card issuer immediately to dispute the charge and request a new card number.

2. Do not use any device that arrives if it isn't clearly the genuine CurrentBody product — a counterfeit skin-contact device carries real safety risk, not just a quality risk.

3. Monitor your statements for additional unauthorized charges over the following weeks.

4. Report the site to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov and to the real CurrentBody so they can pursue a takedown of the fake domain.

How to Verify Any Beauty-Tech Store Before You Check Out

1. Buy directly from currentbody.com or a retailer you already know and trust. 2. Compare the 'deal' price to CurrentBody's own site before trusting it. 3. Search the exact domain plus 'scam' or 'reviews' before checking out. 4. Pay by credit card only, never wire transfer or gift card.
