Company Rating
We identified keywords that indicate that the company may offer very high-risk financial services, meaning services that may offer a high return; but also a high likelihood of losing (all) your money. We advise you to be very careful. There are no financial services that can guarantee you a high income or offer investments without risks. With high potential revenues from investments always come a high likelihood of losing all your money. Want to know more? Read our blog post on "High Risk Financial Investment Scams".
Webshop Analysis
This website is deemed to be popular by Tranco with a ranking of 30. Having a high ranking in Tranco is a good sign. Not only does the website have a lot of visitors. Also several other websites link to this site, meaning that it is considered relevant by others.
This website is showing a trust mark. Trust marks can differ in value from very cheap (or even free) to highly demanding and expensive. It is therefore always a good idea to check what is behind a trust mark (by clicking on it). The first check is if it actually links to a third party website. If not, it does not have any value. If it links to another website make sure you understand what the trust mark actually stands for. Just offering an SSL certificate has little to no value. A real trust mark checks if the company is legit and is acting according to the law and/or a specific code of conduct. Want to know more? Read "Trust marks - which ones are real and which ones are fake".
This website has been set-up several years ago. We consider this a positive sign. The longer a website exists, the more it can be expected that it is legit. However, the age of the website is unfortunately no guarantee. In some cases, scammers have been found to buy existing domain names and start their malicious practice here. So checking a website remains a necessity.
Technical Analysis
We have identified payment methods such as Alipay, Mastercard, Paypal, Visa who offer the consumer the option to get their money back if a product is not delivered or another form of dispute arises between the consumer and the merchant. There is never a 100% guarantee. Each payment method has its own restrictions to get money back and the merchant may still entice you to use a different payment method. Make sure you are paying with the method you want to. Want to know more? Read our article on "Safe Payment Methods".
A valid SSL certificate was found. Professional companies use an SSL certificate to encrypt communication between your computer and their website. However, there are different levels of certification and scammers also install a free SSL certificate. If you have to enter your data, never do this without checking if an SSL certificate protects your information.
The registar of the domain serves mainly high-end customers. They also have a good due diligence process to make sure their Internet infrastructure is only used by legit companies. As a result, it is less likely that this domain is used by scammers and cybercriminals. We, therefore, increased the trust score of [domain].

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
