Every day many people work to do reliable and secure websites to offer your customers a pleasant and satisfactory shopping experience. However, there are still people who seek to commit fraud posing as a real online store when they only seek to obtain money or collect data from electronic cards. Here we show you how to distinguish if we are facing a real site or a fake e-commerce page.
Check the URL
If at the time they ask us for our card details, https: // does not appear at the beginning, it means that it is a website that does NOT have a SSL security protocol for which you should not under any reason enter your personal data
Try to get in touch
If they don't offer any method of solving doubts, or the communication is slow and they do not solve your doubts or they are not clear. Get away!
Check the payment methods
Serious and official businesses have gateways of certified payment and various verified and trusted online payment methods. If the only payment method is a similar bank deposit, don't risk losing your money.
Pay attention to the page image
Many scam pages don't care wording or spelling. They also use images that can be easily found on the internet with a search engine, or are of very poor quality.
If you don't see any of these signs but store prices they are excessively low beware. It may be that the page is real but they send you a poor quality imitation of the product, wasting your money.
Seek opinions about it
Finally, use your favorite search engine to find out what people think of that brand. If most of the comments you see are negative, look for an alternative to make your purchase.
