Is Vbdxb.com Legit or a Scam?
Author: Adam Collins
Vbdxb.com is an online store that sells fashion products such as dresses, tops and men's T-shirts. When Vbdxb.com was among the most searched sites on ScamAdviser, I was compelled to take a look. Can you trust them with your money or is it another online shopping scam? Let’s find out.
Too-good-to-be-true Prices
When a deal gets too sweet, you watch out as it can be a plot to steal from you. One of the things we noticed is that Vbdxb.com is selling its products at ridiculously low prices. They claim that “for as low as $0.90, have tops, skirts, and other accessories...”
A quick spot check shows they are selling pants for as low as $3 which is ridiculous. Scammers often use low prices to lure unsuspecting customers because they know some shoppers will jump on any bargain deal they find.
On top of this, they also offer exuberant discounts which are also synonymous with scammers. They claim the more you spend, the higher the discounts.
Lack of Reviews
Despite the domain being over 7 months old, I struggled to find any reviews about VBDXB.com on all major review websites like ScamAdviser, Trustpilot and MyWOT. This does not help to build on the already fragile confidence.
Email Confusion
Interestingly, they have listed service@oivmedi.com as their email address. It's clear that the email ID is of a different domain than the website..
This is a red flag as scammers often make it hard for customers to reach out should anything go wrong with their order.
Hard Selling Tactics
Browsing through the site, I was bombarded with pop-ups about alleged customers making purchases.
This seems to be a desperate attempt to appear legit and popular and is often used by scammers who are looking to win over the confidence of customers and create a sense of urgency. Some of the pop-ups are so poorly done that they don’t have any names just “Somebody Somewhere”.
Similarities with Dubious Site
On the “About Us” page, I found some damning evidence that made me doubt the legitimacy of VBDXB.com. They claim that Floralsstyle.com did not exist until 2015.
This could suggest that the site is part of a larger syndicate of scam networks that are using the same content. There is no legit website that constantly refer to another different site on their most crucial part, the “About Us” section.
Conclusion
In general, there are a lot of red flags that suggest that Vbdxb.com may be a scam. From the annoying pop-ups to the ridiculously low prices and huge discounts, the site has characteristics that overlap with scam sites.
There are no reviews that would have shed more light on the company. The email address used is of a different website.The “About Us” page claims the site is known as Floralsstyle.com which could suggest that this is part of a larger syndicate of scam websites.
Overall, caution is needed when shopping at Vbdxb.com. There are more reputable and reliable fashion shopping sites out there.

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
