Is Moikola.com Legit or a Scam?
Author: Adam Collins
Is Moikola.com legit or a scam? This has been a popular question we’ve been getting at ScamAdviser. With this, we were compelled to write this review and analyze everything to do with Moikola.com.
Moikola.com is an online store that sells products such as baby care kits and camping chairs. However, are they legit or will you lose money to them? Let’s find out, shall we?
Where are the Products?
On the home page, I only found two products listed which is confusing at best. I only saw a camping chair and a picnic blanket.
There is no provision for other products though there is a search bar at the top of the website. However, when I searched “products” I was only able to find one other product. This begs the question, is the website incomplete or do they have other products that are just hard to find?
Either way, this is confusing and very rare with legit sites that list all their products and make it easy for customers to find them.
Suspicious Ownership
On the “Contact Us” page, they have listed Meledo Company Limited as their owner.
Interestingly, they have listed the above information as an image to make it harder to find them on search engines. Though Meledo Company Ltd is registered in the UK, there is speculation that it's a shell company incorporated by Chinese owners and is related to thousands of scammy websites.
I have written about such dubious websites in the past that also list Meledo Company Ltd as their parent company, such as Meeyd.com and Inacool.com.
There are also hundreds of websites supposedly related to Meledo Company Limited listed by Fake Website Buster. Presumably, there are thousands more sites with relations to Meledo Company Limited. The company may be (mis)used by Chinese organized cybercriminals who use its UK registration to dupe unsuspecting customers.
Other Telltale Signs
Upon further analysis, I found out that there are other signs that make us doubt the legitimacy of Moikola.com.
For starters, I found content that was duplicated on other sites, which could further back our suspicions that Moikola.com could be part of a larger scam network. This content is available on multiple other sites: Strictly follows five steps of CITST quality control, namely Checking suppliers, Inspecting production, Testing sample quality, Spot-checking products, Tracking after sales, ensuring all products meet a consistent quality standard and users' requirements.
The same content appears on sites such as rosezip.com and Blasura.com.
Furthermore, I could not find any location or phone number listed which makes it hard to know where they are actually based. Plus, I could not find any social media handles on the website which is strange for a webshop operating in this digital era.
Bottom Line
Overall, there is a high possibility that Moikola.com could be a scam. There are a lot of red flags that are too hard to ignore. They list very few products on their website and there is no phone number or location listed, making it hard to know where they are based.
They also claim to be owned by Meledo Company Ltd which is a Chinese-owned company that’s registered in the UK. Moikola.com seems to use content similar to that of other dubious sites, which could suggest they are part of a larger network of fake online stores.
Customers should exercise caution when shopping at Moikola.com. There are more reputable online marketplaces 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
