Testery.com Review: Is it a Legit or Fraud?
Author: Adam Collins
With people looking for ways to make money online, it can be a rich hunting ground for scammers who are always on the lookout for victims. Hence, when testery.com was one of the most searched sites on ScamAdviser, we were curious to know more about it. We wrote this review to help us, and you, make a better-informed decision about testery.com.
Testery is an online platform for paid online testing. Members test out several apps, games, and cosmetics and get paid in return. But is it a scam or a legit business?
When were they started?
The domain was registered in 2014 according to ScamAdviser which makes the site several years old. On Archive.org, the site was inactive for quite a number of years and has never been fully active for one consecutive year.
This does not help win the confidence of users as to why would a legit site be constantly offline. What were they doing those years? Were they in trouble with the law? There is no way we could answer all these questions and the its only Testery.com who can.
What the customers say
Usually, customer reviews are quite helpful as they shed light on the business and what new customers can expect. With Testery.com, the site claims there are over 120k reviews on the reliable TrustPilot.
But when we clicked on the provided link, the reviews were for a completely different site, empfohlen.de. This is very strange as companies are proud to showcase their actual reviews with their names and domains
When we searched empfohlen.de on Trustpilot, we were surprised to know there was only one review with an overall rating of 3.7 out of 5.
Why would a reliable website lie about the actual number of reviews? Is it a desperate plot to want to appear legit and quite endorsed by the previous clients? This is a common trick used by many dubious websites in a bid to appear legitimate.
We could not find any reviews on other reliable sites like ScamAdviser or Sitejabber.
Bottom Line
Overall, there are several red flags that are hard to ignore. Testery.com seems to showcase another site’s reviews which is not only bad for their image, but does not help win the confidence of users.
The domain was registred many years back but the website has been inconsistently active. There is hardly a year when the site is online all the time. Caution is to be excerised while dealing with the 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
