Genoanime.com: A Review Of An Anime Streaming Site
Genoanime.com boasts of being the best website for watching anime series. It is a popular video streaming site for anime-type of animated movies. Anime is a distinctive artistic style of animation that originates from Japan.
While streaming videos on the site is free, Genoanime has the option to donate through another site called ko-fi.com. Ko-fi.com has 4 reviews on mywot.com with an average rating of 3.6 out of 5. Ko-fi.com appears to be set up with the express intention of supporting content creators. Donations by well wishers should go to the content creators. The problem is that there is no way to verify this.
The red flag here is the cryptocurrency angle. Ko-fi.com also receives donations via Bitcoin and Dogecoin. Once you transfer cryptocurrency there is no way to retrieve it.
Facebook Reviews
Genoanime's Facebook page has zero reviews! A big red flag and rather strange for a high-traffic site and 628 followers. But it may also be because they have not prioritized directing site viewers to Facebook for reviews.
ScamAdviser Review
ScamAdviser website check shows genoanime.com as safe but with the warning that it is young yet has high traffic.
Contacts
The only contact given is this free Gmail address - portugalsensie@gmail.com that appears on their Facebook page.
It’s a known convention to have a branded email that matches the domain name of your site. Genoamine.com does not have this. Chances are that you should expect more departures from established and known business conventions. One such thing is voluntary donations that can be made even via cryptocurrency.
Conclusion
The real issue here is whether genoanime.com uses the content from artists legally. And whether the artists actually get paid from their work being distributed freely to viewers at Genoanime.
That is doubtful because of the following disclaimer:
Disclaimer: This site does not store any files on its server. All contents are provided by non-affiliated third parties.
The non-affiliated parties are linked at the bottom of the site:
- genodrama.com
- genomovies.com
All in all, there appears to be little risk in simply watching anime movies on Genoanime. Subscription is voluntary and does not hinder you from streaming their videos. There is also no paid service that requires you to fill your personal details first before accessing Genoanime.com.

As the influence of the internet rises, so does the prevalence of online scams. There are fraudsters making all kinds of claims to trap victims online - from fake investment opportunities to online stores - and the internet allows them to operate from any part of the world with anonymity. The ability to spot online scams is an important skill to have as the virtual world is increasingly becoming a part of every facet of our lives. The below tips will help you identify the signs which can indicate that a website could be a scam. Common Sense: Too Good To Be True When looking for goods online, a great deal can be very enticing. A Gucci bag or a new iPhone for half the price? Who wouldn’t want to grab such a deal? Scammers know this too and try to take advantage of the fact. If an online deal looks too good to be true, think twice and double-check things. The easiest way to do this is to simply check out the same product at competing websites (that you trust). If the difference in prices is huge, it might be better to double-check the rest of the website. Check Out the Social Media Links Social media is a core part of ecommerce businesses these days and consumers often expect online shops to have a social media presence. Scammers know this and often insert logos of social media sites on their websites. Scratching beneath the surface often reveals this fu
So the worst has come to pass - you realise you parted with your money too fast, and the site you used was a scam - what now? Well first of all, don’t despair!! If you think you have been scammed, the first port of call when having an issue is to simply ask for a refund. This is the first and easiest step to determine whether you are dealing with a genuine company or scammers. Sadly, getting your money back from a scammer is not as simple as just asking. If you are indeed dealing with scammers, the procedure (and chance) of getting your money back varies depending on the payment method you used. PayPal Debit card/Credit card Bank transfer Wire transfer Google Pay Bitcoin PayPal If you used PayPal, you have a strong chance of getting your money back if you were scammed. On their website, you can file a dispute within 180 calendar days of your purchase. Conditions to file a dispute: The simplest situation is that you ordered from an online store and it has not arrived. In this case this is what PayPal states: "If your order never shows up and the seller can't provide proof of shipment or delivery, you'll get a full refund. It's that simple." The scammer has sent you a completely different item. For example, you ordered a PlayStation 4, but instead received only a Playstation controller. The condition of the item was misrepresented on the product page. This could be the
