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.
A lot of websites from high-risk countries have proven to sell fake brands. This may not be the case for this website, but it is recommended to be extra cautious. Check our blog "How to recognize fake products".
Webshop Evaluation
This kind of website is rather rare. It is still considered young (less than one year) but already is very popular (it has a lot of visitors every month). While some sites (especially social media) can grow, very quickly, in a very short amount of time, there are also scammers who are able to boost traffic. They can do this by offering deals that are too good to be true (but do get them a lot of visitors) or are using technology to send a lot of visitors to their website without the user actually being aware of it.
This website has many other websites linking to it. This means the website is considered an "authority". You do not get many links from other websites easily. Other websites have to have "authority" as well. Having many links from websites that are unknown and have no traffic, does not help a site to build authority.
Legit websites often reside on servers with many other safe websites. In this case however we identified several unreliable websites hosted on the same server as the website. This may be a negative signal and as a result we lowered the review of qoo10.my. To see which other websites are hosted on the same server, please check the "Server" tab lower on this page.
There are many online stores selling fake products from popular brands. This may or maybe not be the case here. We recommend you read our blog post on "How to recognize counterfeit products" to differentiate a great bargain from a scam. In general, if it is too good to be true, it usually is not true.
This online store is offering products that are popular amongst scammers. As demand is high, these scammers are trying to lure you to buy these products often at much lower prices than the normal market rates. We advise you to take extra care before you order by checking if the company is legit or possibly a scam. Please read our blog post "How to recognize a Scam" for tips & tricks.
Technical Evaluation
The server of this website is based in a hosting center in a country that is marked as being high risk. This means that the country is listed by the International Banking Federation as having a high level of fraud and corruption.
We could not find a Secure Sockets Layer certificate. SSL is a secure protocol developed for sending information securely over the Internet. Communication with this online store is not secure and a serious security breach. All professional websites have an SSL certificate. For online stores, this is even more important as payment information is sent from your computer to the server of the online store. We therefore gave a much lower rating to this website.
We checked if the website is optimized for search engines like Google and Bing. This does not seem to be the case. Several items are missing which most websites implement to make sure they can be found by search engines. We consider this suspicious. Why would a website not want to be found via search engines? This is usually the case if they do not want to be found by police authorities or brand protection agencies.

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
