Inacool.com Review: Is it Legit or a Scam? | ScamAdviser
Author: Adam Collins
Online shopping comes with a lot of conveniences as well as a huge risk, as many scammers are lurking in the shadows. In the recent past, there have been a lot of queries on ScamAdviser about Inacool.com, which is why we decided to write this review.
Inacool.com is an online store that claims to be “supported by premium supply chains and a self-built supplier repository”, but are they legit or a scam? Let’s find out, shall we?
Who is Behind Inacool.com?
When I check on the “Contact Us” page, they claim to be owned by Meledo Company Ltd which is based in the UK. On paper, this sounds okay, but when you dig deeper, the cracks begin to show.
Possibly to try and conceal the company’s name and prevent people from doing further searches, they have included the information in the form of a picture. That did not hinder us from checking the information on the Companies House which revealed that Meledo Company Limited is actually registered by a Chinese national.
This is a common move by Chinese scammers who use one registered company to mask the real identity of the owners. Meledo Company Limited is also claimed by many other dubious websites, which would suggest that this is a shell corporation used by many dubious websites such as Cowboyex.com
Customer Reviews
I could not find a lot of reviews about the site, with only a single review being available on ScamAdviser. The review is negative, with the customer claiming they ordered a product and despite getting a tracking number, have never received it.
Where are the Products?
When I checked the site, I was stunned to see they only have one product to offer. On the home page, they only have a template with the name “Your product's name." This could indicate that the site is either incomplete or in the process of being wound up.
On “All Products,” they only have one product listed. This does very little to boost the confidence of users. This is the only product I could find on the website, which is strange.
As if that’s not enough, I noticed that they are using some high-pressure sales tactics. There is a timer alleging the sale is ending in a few minutes to rush visitors into buying the product. They also list the number of people allegedly viewing the product as well as a pop-up to show someone has bought the product. All these high-pressure sales tactics are meant to pressure you into quickly buying the product without doing your due diligence.
Bottom Line
Overall, there are a lot of red flags that suggest the possibility of Inacool.com being a scam. The site claims to be owned by a company in the UK, which is likely a Chinese shell company that’s also used by many dubious websites. There are not many reviews outside the site and the one I found was negative, with the user claiming to have never gotten the product.
I was only able to find one product, which is strange, and the presence of high-pressure sales tactics is a common trick that scammers use. In general, caution should be exercised when shopping here, as there are more reputable shopping sites out there.

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
