Beware of Imitators... Don’t Get Caught Off Base!
As Baseball Lifestyle 101 continues to grow, we’re seeing more and more fake websites and counterfeit products popping up, but don’t worry, we’re here to keep you safe!
Fraudsters are getting increasingly sophisticated in creating convincing fake Baseball Lifestyle 101 ads that can direct you to websites claiming to sell our products. Some are using photos taken directly from our website, making them hard to identify as fraudulent. Unfortunately, these sites are scams and won’t deliver the genuine quality you expect, or even any products at all. Shopping from these links or sites can put your financial accounts at risk, and cause frustration and inconvenience that we would like to help you avoid!
How to Spot a Fake
Here are a few quick tips to make sure you’re shopping with us:
➢ The link to our official site and social platforms can be found below. These are the only official platforms that advertise our products, sales, and updates.
BL101.com
Instagram
Facebook
If a link in an ad doesn’t take you to our official site (bl101.com)—that’s not us.
➢ Look Closely at the URL- Always double-check the web address! If the link isn’t **bl101.com**, it’s not us.
Avoid sites with strange URLs like **baseball-lifestyle101-sale.com** or **bl101store.com**—those are not affiliated with us.
➢ Watch Out for Errors and Red Flags
If an ad looks odd—spelling mistakes, low-quality images, or strange formatting—stay away.
Offers that seem “too good to be true” usually are. 90% off “blow out sales” sound great, but they are not sustainable for receiving quality products. Always verify sales and promotions through our official channels.
We only ship from the US. Any site that is shipping from overseas is not us.
➢ Fake Social Media Accounts
We’ve also seen an increase in fake social media profiles claiming to represent “Baseball Lifestyle 101” or offering “ambassadorship” or “sponsorship” deals—these are scams. We will only offer giveaways from the linked site and social media accounts above.
Our team will NEVER:
- Ask for your bank details
- Offer “samples” in exchange for any fees.
- Ask you to download an app to receive a giveaway item, etc.
Think You’ve Been Targeted?
If you suspect you’ve encountered a fake website or someone claiming to represent us, please report it! We’re working closely with internal teams and external agencies to protect our community, but we need your help too.
- Report suspicious accounts to the social media platform.
- If you’ve made a purchase on a site you think might be fake, contact your bank for support.
- You can also reach out to our Customer Support team if you have any questions or concerns: info@bl101.com
Stay vigilant, and thank you for being part of the Baseball Lifestyle 101 family.

We ordered from closatsale.com as well and it says that our package is located in Springfield Missouri! We ordered on 8-3-2025. I guess we are out $500.00 worth of clothes. Back to school shopping is now on my schedule for the weekend!
So funny how you claiming their alot of fake website. But your company over here can’t even fulfill customer order or respond back to an email not to mention refunding. You should be calling your self a SCAM! REFUND MY SHIT. YOU SHITTY COMPANY.
Fell for layhode.com is there anything I can do to get my money back?
What about closatsale.com
Ordered from a back to school sale and the prices were so good I placed an additional order on 6/29. Tracking from 2 separate companies vivawearz and commusnap and the orders show delivered to the town I live in but no specific address. Sent 7 emails and once I called them scammers and requested a refund the link to the track order from confirmation email now take me to a blank page. I’m an idiot for thinking I was getting such great deals. What trash scammers, absolute roaches.
