List of fraudulent online stores

Surely it has ever happened to you that you have landed on a website where they had the product you were looking for at a very good price. Maybe you even bought it even though you had your doubts. And, in the end, time has passed and the article has not arrived, in addition to having lost your money. What would you not give for a list of fraudulent online stores?

Sometimes fraudulent online shops can be recognized by following a few hints. Others, you find specific listings on the Internet that help put a stop to those websites (so as not to end up being scammed). How about we talk to you about it?

How to identify fraudulent online stores

Online store

Nobody likes to get scammed. Not lose money. In fact, it is possible that, if it happens to you, the first thing you want is to hide it because you are embarrassed that you have been scammed. But the truth is that this does not only happen to a few; in reality, many who surf the Internet may end up trusting something they shouldn't.

And how to know if a store is fake or not? There are several indicators that can help you do this. These are:

the digital certificate

As you know, web pages have gone from http to https. This is because the pages with https have a digital certificate, a kind of padlock (in an icon) that helps you know if the page is secure. In the sense that it has a secure connection, digital certificate, cookies… It can even give you information on data protection according to the LOPD.

You will see this right next to the url, since the padlock icon should appear and everything should also be ok (in green).

Now, that does not mean that with that we already know that it is reliable; you have to be very careful with this.

Design

In the past, fraudulent online shops were easy to spot because the pages were not very "easy on the eyes". Quite the contrary. But now they are getting more and more serious about providing a design that is elegant, simple and one that you can “nick” and buy with.

But if you browse the web a bit you will realize that it is not complete. Maybe it doesn't have translated parts, or they are by default. They may even be poorly translated and the articles have hardly any text.

If you do not have the mandatory pages such as the legal notice, privacy policy, a contact... do not trust too much, it might not be a good idea to buy there no matter how cheap it is.

Payment methods

The next aspect that you have to take into account is the payment method that it offers you. Normally in fraudulent online stores they can offer you two situations:

  • Websites that only give you one payment option, by card, and nothing else. That means that, if you discover that it is a fraud, you have more problems to recover the money.
  • Websites that offer you all the payment methods available. But, when buying, they will tell you that there is an error and that only by card. The objective is that, to obtain the credit card in such a way that your data may be within reach to scam you (or have your account looted).

So don't bite, less if you don't have the padlock. Not only will you lose the money that costs what you want to buy; but also that you will also find that they can steal more money from your account for having exposed your card.

Pricing

online scams

In most cases, these websites are accessed because they have the item you are looking for at a much more affordable price than on other sites. And it is not that they are a euro, five or ten cheaper; but you can get it for more than 50% discount over other stores.

But this in itself should already make you suspicious.

Legal information

Before buying in any store, one of the recommendations we make is that you review its legal information. That is, who is the owner of the website, registered office, email, conditions of sale... This is required so if you don't see it, there is something wrong.

Now, this is only legal in Spain. We do not know if international legislation requires the identification of stores. Therefore, buying abroad without a minimum of security is not recommended.

Reviews

One of the procedures that we always do when we go to buy in a store that we do not know is to look for its opinions on the Internet. Many people may have bought from it and that allows us to know if it is going to be reliable or, on the contrary, we should run away from it.

When buyers have bad experiences with stores, they often go to forums to comment, especially to find help to solve the problem of having lost money. And that is where you come in because you can follow those threads of conversation to get an idea of ​​what you are exposing yourself to.

If you only find negative opinions It is best not to trust the store and not buy.
