Greenplantsed.com Review: Scam or Legit?
Author: Adam Collins
With the festive period quickly approaching, scammers are on high alert as much as shoppers are eager to spend. One online website has caught our attention as many are wondering, is Greenplantsed.com a scam? Having quickly risen to among the most searched sites on ScamAdviser, we were compelled to take a look.
Join us as we discuss the copied content, ask questions about the ownership of Greenplantsed.com and where they are located, and finally answer the question, is Greenplantsed.com legitimate? Let’s get started, shall we?
Who Owns Greenplantsed.com?
According to the information on their website, they claim to be owned by Selon Company Limited, which is based in the UK. Interestingly, this information is included in the form of a picture, which is synonymous with scam websites that want to make it hard for anyone to do their due diligence.
When I dug deeper, I was stunned to see that Selon Company Limited is listed by multiple other dubious websites which could suggest it’s part of a larger scam network. We have extensively covered scam networks in the past like the Uniqueness Scam Network and there are a lot of characteristics about Selon Company Limited that overlap with what we generally see with dubious websites.
Greenplantsed.com or Mowaven? Which is Which
Interestingly, on their About Us page, they call themselves Mowaven, which is highly suspicious as legitimate companies only go with one name.
By continuously referring to a different name, one cannot help but wonder, what is the connection? So, I did some research and found that even the content on Greenplantsed.com is copied from other dubious content. Again, scammers will duplicate content over and over, only changing the names- which they have not done on Greenplantsed.com- to dupe customers. This makes us doubt the legitimacy of Greenplantsed.com.
The Curious Case of Greenplantsed.com Return Policy
On their return policy page, they claim that should the buyer not be satisfied with their products, they can return them to them. However, they list support@mowaven.com as their email address. As you can already see, this is a different domain than their website, Greenplantsed.com. It’s likely a plot to confuse users and create scenarios of deniability should buyers reach out to them.
On top of that, I also noted that customers are required to bear the cost of returning items, even though it's not their fault. In some cases, the cost of returning an item can be greater than the actual cost of the item forcing unsatisfied clients to stay with unwanted products.
Bottom Line: Is Greenplantsed.com a Scam?
Overall, there are a lot of red flags that suggest Greenplantsed.com may be a scam. The company they claim owns them also owns multiple other websites which makes it harder for users to trust them. It also hints that Greenplantsed.com may be a part of a scam network that is using the same company name, and content to dupe customers. The return policy is also wanting as customers are to pay to return defective, damaged, or unwanted products even though it is no fault of their own.
In general, exercise caution when shopping at Greenplantsed.com. There are many more reputable online shopping stores out there, but as always, do your due diligence before clicking any check out button. Happy shopping!

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
