MCXworks.com is a website that claims that it is "currently the world's largest video big data platform, part-time sharing platform and video paid advertising platform." Yet there is clearly neither data nor videos on the site. Our investigation reveals that there is a high likelihood of MCX Works being a scam. Read on to know why.

An analysis of key aspects of a website can tell you whether or not it is trustworthy. Here we look at mcxworks.xyz in detail to determine if it is legit or a scam.

 

1. Domain name

mcxworks.com and mcxgroup.xyz > both domains registered in September 2021 yet the website claims that the company started operating in 2010.

  • mcxeec.cc > Domain registered in July 2021 and is about some solar equipment. Doesn't seem to have any real connection to the above sites except for the contact information.

2. Address

1266 W.Paces Ferry Rd Suite 187 Atlanta, GA 30327, USA > Likely fake as it points to some residence.

3. Phone number

Carries the California area code even though the address is of Georgia. The line is a virtual VoIP line that can be operated from anywhere in the world. Therefore the claim of being a US company is likely false. 

Truecaller shows the random name 'Raghda'.

4. Email

They use a free gmail : mcxworks@gmail.com and mcxeec@gmail.com. Lack of a professional email ID is a red flag.

5. Site Content

Quality of all the websites is really low and they do not appear professional. Some photos of the products are blurry and poor quality.

Conclusion

  • Mcxworks shows all the classic signs of a pyramid scheme. Joining for rewards, easy money and focus on referrals to earn more. 
  • It is likely to be the same scam as SoJob and DidiJob covered on FakeWebsiteBuster.com. Even the interface looks the same.
  • They claim to be offering infrastructure technologies, but why do they need you to sign up for an account before you can see their products? Possibly has a Multi-level Marketing/ Pyramid Scheme angle to it.

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
