Is ursime.com a fraud or a legit business?
Author: Adam Collins
Usually, when an online fashion store is searched on ScamAdviser, it is because the customers are not entirely sure about its authenticity. Ursime.com is an online store that specializes in selling vintage and used clothing and accessories. Because of the nature of their business, we decided to check them out and see if they are legit or not.
Where are they located?
On their about us page, the site claims to target markets in the US, Europe, and Australia. They even offer free shipping to locations within the US. However, they also claim to be located in Tianan Community, Shatou Street, Futian District, Shenzhen.
This is quite confusing as most online stores would list their actual locations. This might make some people skeptical about the store, thinking that they are actually located in China and are only claiming to be in the US to attract more customers.
What do their customers say?
When we checked out customer reviews on external sites, we found that most of them were negative. Customers were skeptical about the store because of its location and also because of the quality of the products.
Some customers even said that they received substandard items from Ursime.com. The biggest concern for most customers is the time it took to receive their orders.
Most of the customers who did receive their orders said that it took anywhere from weeks to even months, which is quite a long delivery time by current standards in online shopping.
The complicated return policy
When a customer receives damaged, substandard, or even the wrong items, they usually want to return them back to the store. However, this is not as easy with Ursime.com.
The store has a very complicated return policy where customers have to pay for the return of the products. We found this to be a common trick with most dubious sites which complicate the return policy to make it hard for customers to get their money back.
Conclusion
Ursime.com is one of those stores that has been gaining popularity in recent months, but not much is known about them. Their domain was registered on the 9th of April 2021 and their Whois information is set to private. This means that we do not know who owns the site.
Based on our research, there are characteristics of Ursime.com that overlap with what we see with other scams. There are several red flags that we found, such as their location, the quality of the products, and delivery times. User reviews are highly negative.
We would not recommend buying anything from Ursime.com as it seems to be a high-risk 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
