Is UVlizer (getuvlizer.com) a scam?

Uvlizer is a very clever scam that could prove disastrous for you and your family. Don’t believe the fake reviews, save your money, and your life!

There’s absolutely no R&D, testing, or certification work that has gone into this product. It’s just a generic Chinese product with the “Uvlizer” sticker placed on it that’s being sold to you at 4 times the regular price.

I spent the whole weekend investigating this product and this fake company, and what I discovered was appalling! Turns out Uvlizer is a ONE-MAN-BUSINESS, and that lone man is none but a 20-year-old Tunisian dude! YES, a 20-year-old “kid” who probably hasn’t earned his college degree yet; who hasn’t ever tried, touched or even seen this product in real life is selling it to you as a safety device and cashing in on your fear during these trying times. That’s plain EVIL!

(For your quick reference, Tunisia is a country in Africa, official language is Arabic, and it’s a part of the Arab world.)

Now imagine, some dude sitting somewhere in Africa is selling you a product in the Americas that he himself has never tried, touched, or even seen in real life! All the people who manage his customer service and social media campaigns were hired from freelance marketplaces for about $3 an hour, and even they haven’t ever seen the product in real life. Imagine people like these selling you a product that’s intended to protect you and your family, are answering your questions regarding your and your family’s safety. Just think where this could lead and how disastrous it could prove to be.

Coming to their ads on social media, it says “inspired by the technology used by medical professionals”. Thankfully, they don’t claim to be using the same technology, but just taking inspiration (for a scam) from it. If you’ve ever seen the UV devices they use to disinfect hospitals, they’re huge, roughly the size of your washing machine, and require a lot of power to operate and effectively sterilize a room.

Compare that to the tiny device that you’re being fooled to buy. It drains just a couple of watts of power, and, in the best case scenario, can only barely disinfect a radius of a foot or two around it — and that can only happen if this device is fitted with a real UV-C lamp in the first place! It could very well be fitted with a very cheap, blue-tinted bulb that you’re paying $80 for. Who’s going to confirm that? The 20-year-old Tunisian seller? Nah, he has never touched the product. Maybe their customer service can? Nope, they’ve only seen it in pictures, how can they tell you anything? OK, what about the hundreds of 5-star reviews on their website and all over the internet? Well, they’re all obviously fake, because there’s not one negative review in sight. Even companies like Apple that put in millions of dollars in R&D don’t manage a 100% 5-star rating.

So, give it a thought, what kind of people are you trusting with your and your family's safety?

• A 20-year-old who has no connection with medical science, medical technologies, and even your country, and has never seen the product himself?
• Their customer service people who will say or do anything for you online for $3 an hour?
• Fake reviews that were probably put together at a cost of about $9?
• The Chinese manufacturers who won’t take any liability if anything goes wrong with you using this product?
• Do you see the dangers of relying on such a company and device? It’s like wearing a metallic colored jacket and thinking it will stop bullets and keep you safe.

Take advice from real healthcare professionals and credible sources online. Uvlizer WILL NOT disinfect your home or protect you from the coronavirus. All it will do is give you a fake sense of safety which can very well prove to be fatal.
