Often, when a site appears on ScamAdviser, it's because people are not sure of the legitimacy of the site. When virtuemap.com appeared as one of the most searched sites, we went on a quest to find out if its a fraud or a legit shop.
Virtuemap.com offers a plan to help people end procrastination and help people have the right thinking process. The website was created in July 2021 according to ScamAdviser and has been active for almost a year.
It all starts with a quiz, of 18 slides, that they say help determine your personal procrastination score. In the end, they will develop a plan for you based on the answers you’ve provided. The questions seemed legit with occasional breaks to explain the process and why users need to answer the questions honestly.
When it comes to reviews, Virtuemap seems to have a mixture of both good and not-so-good reviews. On Trust Pilot, the site has an overall score of 3.9 out of 5.
Most of the reviewers who have left lower scores are complaining that the company offers basic plans that don’t seem to offer much help.
Some feel the site could have done more to personalize the plans and make them worthwhile. In the end, some feel the advice given is very general and does not address personal issues.
Refunds are also a bone of contention as some users struggled to get their money back and some got it after complaining about the issue.
Virtuemap has social media handles where they update their customers and market their services. The social media buttons at the bottom of their website seem to be working and the social media pages are active.
However, there is no way of telling who runs the page as they have not completed the verification process.
Overall, Virtuemap does not have characteristics that overlap with scams. However, they don’t seem to be offering up-to-par services and customers have aired their disappointments in various forms. Proceed with caution as products may not come as they are advertised.

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
