Since jollyjerk.com was one of the most searched websites on ScamAdviser.com, I decided to check it out. According to their website, Jollyjerk is a platform with a video chat feature for making friends, online dating, chit-chats, and in-depth conversations. The platform connects users with other random users from all across the globe.

Jollyjerk is a new website

The site was started in December 2021 and is only a few months old. Over that period, the site claims to have thousands of users across the world. While this could be true, the site is still young and more people are joining. 

Copied text

When I searched some of the text on the home page, I got other sites using the same exact text from a dozen other sites. Websites like Camloo, Videochat.chat, and many others are using the same text.

When I searched “connects you with a random person on the other side of the screen in mere seconds. Our video chat feature is completely free” on Google, the search results brought a lot of similar sites.

Where is the speed?

Jolly Jerk claims to have ultra-fast speeds and that you can connect with people in mere seconds.

But when you click on the “Start Chatting” box, it takes time to load. The site claiming to be fast was just a bluff to get more people to commit thinking they will get faster services.

No social media presence

Jolly Jerk does not have any social media presence. I could not find any Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram page that links directly to the site. At the same time, there were no reviews that I could find about the site. 

Most legit sites will want to use social media marketing to get more visitors. The social media pages would also come in handy with customer reviews. There are also no reviews on the site itself, which does not help with the confidence.

There is limited information about the owners of the site or where they are based. I could not find any useful information about the Privacy Policy or Terms of Use on the site. They only provide scarce info about the safety of the user and that’s the only information available.

Overall, we doubt the legitimacy of JollyJerk.com. Proceed with caution when dealing with the site.

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
