S888.live appears to be a live betting site for agents and players. Some links given on the site homepage dont work such as: “Google Plus” and “Contact Us” link. This could simply be that the site is still being developed, but this is unlikely as the domain name was registered in January 2021.
The facebook link leads to one Hisoka Kuhn a.k.a vincepogi. And that is a deliberate setting.
Rather strange that a business site leads to an individual’s social media page.
Yet there is another page that seems to be the bona fide s888.live page as seen here on Facebook:
The s888 facebook banner reveals that the site deals in live betting which requires financial transactions. The page was created in May 2021.
The login is available only for clients who already have accounts with no provision to sign up for new clients. Links from facebook direct to the site for you to sign up for the live betting. But when you put in your information you get the message that you should contact an agent.
Quite frustrating to a betting enthusiast. You can’t just be taking people round in circles. I gave up after three tries. S888.live seems to be a closed circle of a secretive betting ring that only allows in people known to the so-called “agents”.
I also found a guy who had a similar feeling as me about the secretive nature of s888.live. Here is the review he left on ScamAdviser.
The translated text reads:
“there is something, that is fraud in the game, when your bet is 500 above sometimes the player's win is not added to the points sometimes it is less .. in the log report there are times that are wrong .. so as an agent I can't prove to the player that it really happened yun .. pero sa actual mo..”
At this point I realized that s888.live would probably deny me the chance to bet through a fair and transparent platform, so I left it alone.

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
