Is Umarkete.com a Legit site or a Scam?
Author: Adam Collins
While investment is a wise decision, choosing the right investment platform is not always that easy. There are many investment scams out there and getting it right will require a lot of due diligence.
In this review, we will take a look at Umarkete.com and see whether it's a legit site or a scam. Let’s find out, shall we?
Scarce information
Most sites are very upfront with relevant information about their websites. After all, if you want people to believe in your business, you must give them upfront information. With Umarkete.com, there is very limited information on the home page.
They do not offer much information and only take you to the sign-up page. This is common with many dubious sites that pressure people into signing up without showcasing all the relevant details.
The Reviews
Customer reviews are quite important as they offer insight into a company. We found reviews of Umarkete.com on both ScamAdviser and Trustpilot. On Trustpilot, the Umarkete has an overall rating of 2.6/5 stars from 4 reviews.
Some of the clients are complaining that it's hard to withdraw money or even unfreeze their accounts. This is a grave accusation and the company has not yet replied to the comments made on Trustpilot.
On ScamAdviser, the overall rating is 1/5 stars, from 8 reviews. Some clients were quick to point out that they got referrals from dating sites like Tinder. This is highly unusual and aligns with what we see with scams that use popular dating sites to market their platforms.
The start date
According to Whois.com, Umarkete.com was started in July 2022, making the site a few months old. While there is nothing wrong with new websites, they usually have very limited details which can be used to gauge the site as genuine or a scam.
Further, the site does not provide any contact information or where they are located. Without this, it's hard to know if the company running the site is fully licensed and if they are regulated. With many countries requiring investment firms to be registered, leaving out their location or license details seems like a big red flag.
Bottom line
Overall, there are many red flags that are hard to ignore. The site offers very little information about their location and contact information. The reviews we found online were negative while the pressure to register before knowing what you’re signing up for does not help. There are a lot of similarities with what we see with investment scams. Caution is advised while investing at Umarkete.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
