Newtaka.com Review: Is it Legit or a Scam?
Author: Adam Collins
In this Newtaka.com review, we will analyze everything to do with the site and give all the relevant information to know whether the site is legit or not. Newtaka was one of the most-searched sites on ScamAdviser and therefore we decided to check it out.
Newtaka claims to be an all-in-one source for tech things and more. But is it legit or a scam?
The start date
Usually, the older the website, the more likely its a legit site. This is because its hard to conceal scamming habits for long. That’s not to say that newer website cannot be legit.
With Newtaka.com, they claim to have been started in 2021 according to the information available on the About Us Page.
But on Whois.com, the site was registered on 26th July 2022 making it barely a few months old. Exaggerating the age of a website has been a common trick by scammers who want to appear more legitimate than they are.
Copied content
When a website goes live, there is always a need to ensure everything is authentic. When I tried searching a phrase, I was surprised to see the same exact phrase appear in different websites.
I searched:
“Welcome to StimeBD, your number one source for all things tech and others. We’re dedicated to providing you the very best of technology, with an emphasis on”
The same phrase appears on sites like LavBD.com which also has the same outlook and design as Newtaka.com
This could be a part of a larger syndicate of scam sites that use the same template to duplicate content over and over.
Unfinished content?
Again, before going live, legit websites will want to have all their information in order. But with Newtaka, the some bits seem off or incomplete. For instance, on the About Us page, they say:
“We’re dedicated to providing you the very best of technology, with an emphasis on “
They don’t go further to explain what they have empahsis on.
That’s not all as most of their page are blank with just heading to show. This appears to be unprofessional and could indicate the site was only set up for short term basis.
Bottom Line
There appears to be a lot of things left hanging and a lot of unasnwered questons. Most of the charcteristics we found on Newtaka.com overlap with what we see with other scams. The site feels incomplete and there are many blank pages.
The site’s age has been has exaggerated and there appears to be a lot of copied content from other websites. Caution is advised while dealing with Newtaka.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
