The review of swagbux.com is positive. The positive trust score is based on an automated analysis of 40 different data sources we checked online such as the technology used, the location of the company, other websites found on the same web server, etcetera.

Websites that score 80% or higher are in general safe to use with 100% being very safe.

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.

We noticed that jobs are being offered where you get paid to click on ads, to fill in survey forms or to view online commercials. These kinds of jobs are often meaningless. The advertiser does not want to have clicks from people who are not really interested in his products or services. Likewise, surveys are meant to be filled in by people interested in a certain topic. In many cases companies offering rewards for these kind of activities are scams. They are often caught by the advertising networks quickly. In other cases, the company offering the jobs simply does not pay-out. Check out our blog post: "Pay to Click Scams" for more information.

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.

This website is using an external review system. This means that reviews are collected by a third party such as Google, Trustpilot, Sitejabber or Resellerrating. While these reviews can still be manipulated (you can buy a fake review for a few dollars) it is less easy than just showing reviews directly on your website. We consider this a positive thing. Read our blog post "How to recognize fake reviews" 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

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 could not find a valid SSL certificate. Especially for professional online stores this is a red flag. Any reasonably sized website makes sure communication between your browser and the website is secure. For smaller blogs or content sites a missing SSL certificate may be a little bit superfluous.

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
