Company Evaluation

The owner of the website is hiding his identity. Spammers use this information to promote services to website owners. Some website owners therefor chose to hide their contact details. However, it can also be misused by scammers. Our algorithm gives a high rating if the identity of the website owner is shown.

This site seems to offer (information about) services like investing in gold, oil, currencies, and off-shore. We have written an article on how you can separate the legit from possible scammy websites that provide high risk financial services.

This website seems to offer so-called high return/high-risk investment opportunities. There is however no silver bullet. Any investment that promises high revenues also inherently is high risk. Please consider if you can afford to lose the money you plan to invest in a high-risk venture. Check our blog post "High Risk Financial Investment Scams".

At the moment this website seems to be "parked", meaning it is no longer actively used by the owner. It might well have been active the last time you visited. If you made a purchase but have not yet received your products or service, it is best to contact your credit card or bank as soon as possible. Check our blog "How to get your Money back" to learn more. 

Cloudflare is a Content Delivery Network (CDN) platform. The platform provides only web performance and security, and not web hosting services. Cloudflare also partners with IBM Cloud and Google Cloud Platform, which means that the three organizations have many shared renowned clients. One of Cloudflare's most well-known offerings is its Domain Name Service (DNS), which incorporates security safeguards including a Web Application Firewall and a DDoS-blocker. Many trustworthy companies and platforms, including ScamAdviser, use the platform because of its established reputation; nevertheless, like everything else on the internet, scammers can still abuse it.

Webshop Evaluation

In our Analysis we always check the Tranco ranking. In this case it was low. A low Tranco ranking means that the website has relatively few visitors. For a new website this is logical. The same is true for a highly specialized website. However if the website claims to be a large corporate or popular site, than warning flags should be raised.

We have detected that the website may offer cryptocurrency-related information, products and/or services. We consider these kinds of services to be high-risk for consumers. Even experts in cryptocurrencies have trouble distinguishing legit digital currency services from frauds and scams. We recommend you to be very diligent in checking website offering crypto-related services before you invest or use their services. Check How to check if a cryptocurrency site is legit or a scam. to learn more.

We discovered that the domain of this website has been registered several years ago. Websites of scammers are usually very new. Still, you have to be careful. Scammers nowadays also buy old and existing websites to start their malpractice. Checking a website for other scam signals remains essential. 

Technical Evaluation

We always check which other websites are registered by the same company the website is using. In this case we discovered that the registrar is facilitating a high number of websites that have a low to very low review score. This may be a coincidence but it may also be caused by lax "Know your customer" processes at the domain registration bureau. The trust score of the website has been reduced.

This webshop is offering payment methods that can be considered reasonably safe such as credit card and Paypal. These companies usually offer the option to get your money back in case the merchant does not deliver or the product has been broken during transportation. However, no payment method gives money back all the time. Make sure you file a complaint in time and be careful with the limitations your credit card or payment methods have set. Our blog post on Safe Payment Methods discusses all payment methods offered.

We found a valid SSL Certificate. An SSL certificate is used to secure communication between your computer and the website. There are different levels of SSL certification. A free one is also available and this one is used by online scammers. Still, not having an SSL certificate is worse than having one, especially if you have to enter your contact details.

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
