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.

Bought $35 worth of items which the blow out sales stated “5 pairs” of ice cream shorts. That was over a month ago and i have Received nothing. My son is devastated!
I fell for the Back to School Sale as well. I should have known it was all too good to be true. Now to have to tell my kiddos their things are not coming.
I fell for the Instagram scam and I am currently disputing the charge with my credit card company.
Should’ve realized the sale was way too good to be true.
Clicked on an ad and ordered products. Never received it and now realize the site was not Baseball Lifestyles. Watch out.
I clicked one that listed a back to school sale that I thought was this site and when I realized it wasn’t they wouldn’t let me cancel the order and I haven’t received the product or received a refund the website was bl101hotsale.shop
