Online offers for cheap wood pellets are scams in Belgium
Published
Online offers for wood pellets, a pallet for under 300 euro, are scams because the pellets do not exist. People who look for a cheaper alternative to gas can lose their money. The warning, published on 11 November 2026, applies to offers found online in Belgium.
The offers target people who look for an alternative to expensive natural gas. They promise free delivery to the home, but buyers risk paying for pellets that never arrive. HLN first reported the scam.
Readers should check a seller before they pay for pellets online. Be careful with offers that look too cheap.
