Is Meeyd.com Legit or a Scam?
Author: Adam Collins
Meeyd.com is an online store that sells a variety of products from wall hangings to shavers. However, with the recent surge in queries on ScamAdvser, we were curious to find out if it's legit or a scam.
Read on as we analyze Meeyd.com and give you all the necessary information to decide whether it is trustworthy. Let’s get started, shall we?
The Real Owners Unmasked
On the Contact Us page, we noticed something interesting, they have listed Meledo Company Limited. Probably in a desperate plot to make it hard for people to research the company, they included that part as a picture.
I found this interesting as Meledo has been claimed by a host of other dubious websites, including some like inacool.com, which we have reviewed in the past. This could be a shell company that many fraudsters use to mask the identity of the owners.
The Not-so-Clever Tactics
If you click on any of their products, you will quickly notice some high-pressure tactics being employed. One of the most obvious ones is the timer which is meant to pressure you into purchasing a product before time runs out
On top of that, they also include a high number of people currently viewing the product just to add psychological pressure. To make matters worse, they also include the number of items allegedly sold that month. All this is a desperate move to appear legit and push the customers into buying the product.
Lack of Customer Reviews
Even though 2.2k people supposedly purchased the above product as the website claims, I struggled to find any customer reviews. I checked on ScamAdviser, Trustpilot and MyWOT all of which had no reviews.
The lack of reviews does not help build the already fragile customer confidence inMeeyd.com. First-hand insights are vital, especially in online shopping.
Bottom Line
Overall, there is a high likelihood that Meeyd.com is a scam as there are a lot of red flags that are hard to ignore. They employ some high-pressure sales tactics to mentally push unsuspecting customers to buy a product. They also claim they have a huge number of customers but the lack of customer reviews makes us doubt this.
They claim to be owned by Meledo Company Ltd, which is suspected to be a shell company used by scammers from China. The return policy is complicated. In general, customers should be cautious when shopping at Meeyd.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
