Вопросы для владельцев веб-сайтов

Как расчитывается рейтинг?

Мы разработали очень сложный алгоритм, который автоматически сканирует сайт на предмет его подлинности, анализируя различные факторы, такие как техническая настройки сайта, отзывы клиентов в сети (как положительные, так и отрицательные отзывы), пытаясь определить фактическое местонахождение компании, качество или отсутствие контактных данных и много других факторов.

Я хочу иметь печать доверия Скамадвайзер на своей сайте. Что мне для этого надо сделать?

Инструкции о том, как добавить нашу печать доверия, можно найти на этой странице.

Я владелец сайта и не согласен с оценкой доверия. Как я могу заявить об этом?

Мы понимаем, что наш показатель доверия Скамадвайзер не является совершенным. Если у вас есть ощущение, что мы не дали вашему сайту правильный рейтинг доверия (только некоторые получают 100), пожалуйста, свяжитесь с нами.

Как насчет GDPR и Scamadviser?

Нас часто спрашивают, нарушает ли отображение информации о доменном имени европейское законодательство о конфиденциальности данных GDPR (Privacy). 

Мы связались с юрисконсультом, и она дала нам следующий ответ:

"URL-адреса или доменные имена являются общедоступными данными. GDPR защищает обработку персональных данных. Доменные имена не считаются персональными данными, поэтому показатель ВВП не применяется".

Вопросы от пользователей

Кто стоит за Скамадвайзером?

Скамадвайзер был приобретен Ecommerce Operations в попытке сделать онлайн-покупки более безопасными для всех.

Я хочу сообщить про мошеннический веб-сайт

Нам всегда очень жаль слышать, что вы попали на аферу сайта. Если вы хотите сообщить о веб-сайте, воспользуйтесь нашей поисковой системой в верхней части страницы, чтобы найти сайт и оставить отзыв, таким образом, вы поможете другим не попадать на мошенничества! Вы также можете Сообщить о Мошенничестве, если хотите поделиться своей полной историей.

Я попал на обман, что теперь?

Пожалуйста, свяжитесь с компанией, через которую Вы заплатили (ПейПел, Адиен, Ингенико и др.), и объясните, что Вас обманул ненадежный сайт и попросите их вернуть сумму, которую Вы заплатили.

Вы можете получить помощь и советы от своего банка, если это необходимо.

Если вы оплатили с помощью кредитной карты - позвоните в свой банк и попросите начать процесс «возвращения средств», поскольку вы были объектом мошенничества.

Кроме того, оставьте отзыв на Скамадвайзер об этом веб-сайте, таким образом вы поможете другим не наткнуться на мошенничества!

Мне нравится Скамадвайзер,где я могу оставить отзыв?

Рады это слышать! Вы можете оставить нам отзыв в Facebook и на нашей странице Скамадвайзер. Спасибо!

Если вы оцениваете сайт как безопасный - означает ли это, что я в абсолютной безопасности?

Нет! Наш рейтинг несет совещательный принцип. Нормальный здравый смысл должен преобладать. Мы стараемся обеспечить точный и измеренный рейтинг, но вы также должны понимать, что компании могут менять собственные действия, выйти из бизнеса или использовать усовершенствованные техники, чтобы притвориться или прикрыть свою истинную идентичность. Мы не можем сообщать о каждом сайт каждый раз когда в нем что-то меняется ... (это пока).

Что делать если сайт, который я проверяю отображается как подозрительный/высокий риск?

Вам решать! Мы оцениваем сайты на основе более чем 40 различных критериев. Некоторые из которых вам не по душе. Например, если сайт с расширением ".co.uk" на самом деле базируется в Китае, - если вам это не важно, хорошо. Рейтинг риска действительно существует как совещательный критерий.

Почему проверка длится так долго?

Иногда проверка сайта может занять некоторое время. Хотя мы стараемся сделать все возможное для того, чтобы вещи были стремительными ... мы должны проверить многие вещи и связаться с некоторыми третьими сторонами, некоторые из которых могут быть в зарубежных странах. Мы хотим предоставить точный рейтинг, и это может занять некоторое время. Хотя это может быть минутой вашего драгоценного времени ... преимущества могут быть больше, если мы убережем вас от заказа на поддельном сайте!
