3 Tips on Identifying a Scam

Virtual scams come in all shapes and sizes. The most convincing parts of online fraud would be the aesthetic appeal, empty promises, and fabricated company information. However, you can perform a few remedial processes to determine if a site is legitimate or a scam, such as the following:

  1. Check Content/Company Information – It is baffling how many consumers purchase products or “goods” from online stores that operate with blatant anonymity. You are essentially playing Russian roulette, with the bullets being your hard-earned money and the online shopping site working with anonymity being the gun, or in this case, the vessel to deliver fraud. If a company name is available, backcheck that entity across national business registrars to confirm its active existence (some fraud sites use expired company names or falsely portray other companies as their own).
  2. Conduct a WHOIS Search – Many online sites will claim to have been around for years, yet you can conduct a simple background check on a site to see who registered it when they registered the site when it’s set to expire, and quite a bit more information if you know where to look. Sadly, most con artists privately register their domains so that their personal information is concealed from WHOIS databases.
  3. Browse Customer Feedback & Reviews – It is essential to go through customer feedback and read actual reviews. Bots can submit hundreds of fake positive 5-star reviews, which, when taken and looked at as a whole, is quite convincing, especially in the eCommerce realm where overall user ratings on products play a significant role in consumer buying habits.

Do you have information about an online scam or are uncertain if a website is a scam? Report it to us or request a free scam review to determine if fraud has been committed.

    How do I get scam money back?

    The ability to recover your stolen hard-earned money varies case-to-case. Some industries, such as online financial investing and eCommerce, provide actionable courses that one can take to recover their money without much effort. One such action includes the ever-popular chargeback offer, where consumers can request a charge reversal with their financial institution and receive a temporary credit until the bank decides in their favor.

    Again, depending on the type of scam, every case is different.

    Therefore, we invite you to report the scam to us, we will review it and contact you about the best path to recovering your funds.
