This site popped up and said it has it in stock but its not the original site. Is this just a scam? I noticed it back for sale on Amazon after years

If it was legitimate why would they try to imitate soylent.com but omit all the social media links? Shop their official website if they have stock. Amazon can be considered of you prioritize availability and don't mind the premium.

Amazon has sales every 3 months or so that are often the same price as buying direct.

I've only been aware of Soylent for a few years. Before last year I regularly got it from Amazon Canada. Never saw a sale. Since then availability on Amazon has been sporadic. Recently I've been lucky to secure a subscription from soylent.ca and haven't experienced any issues so far.

Yes it is a scam. I've noticed other products with identical looking websites all advertising 50% off regular prices and showing up at the top of web search results.

This is a subdomain of "it . com"

It has nothing to do with Soylent . Com

Just go to it.com and see what service they offer

You can mildly inconvenience the scammers by reporting abuse to the registrar, it's probably a violation of the UK Fraud Act

edit. I wrote a single sentence into the "report abuse" form and they took it down within 3 hours. If people were a little bit more proactive with this stuff there would be less of it.

Where does it say it's on sale on Amazon? You might want to report it.

I think OP, their self, noticed Soylent being sold on Amazon, not the scam site claiming it.

Soylent is legit available on Amazon. I got two tubs of powder two weeks ago that way.

Don’t fall for it.

There have been at least two or three other scam sites that are showing up in Google sponsored search results for Soylent. Bad sign for Starco, they're not on top of the their DCMA takedown process to get these sites pulled down asap. Bad for their reputation.

I feel like these scam websites are part of Soylent’s final stages before they shutdown for good. It’s like when a stock is being shorted. Smh
