    Always Google the website you are interested in with the word "reviews or scam"
    after the domain name before placing an order as a golden rule.
    You will see their reputation quickly, guarantee !

    There are a TON of new websites advertising too good to be true prices from companies whose contact info is hard to find but after digging they’re usually registered somewhere in China / HK. Latest is Southport Jackets. They all have the same looking marketing - enticing jacket and sweater designs hard to find elsewhere listed at 70% off or so - don’t fall for it. And thanks to your site we can keep track of it. Thanks!

      its pretty easy to not fall for a scam, to follow general internet safety tips, that should save you like 80% of the times, rather be safe than to have the consequences, is the mindset I go with when going on a suspicious looking site, but scam detector IS a life saver, that is undeniable

    I feel like if you can't find enough information about a specific company, Then that should already be a red flag. It doesn't matter if everything else checks out, It would suck to spend a lot of money on a product and have it arrived damaged, but the company won't refund your money because the customer service is non existent.

    It is possible to have legit huge discounts, right? Like a lightbulb camera at risk of selling out 60% discount for a New Years Eve sale. I'm sure it's a scam since all the cameras are on sale and I validated on your site it after someone else had bought it, yet the camera worked fine and the full package was 70 dollars. Your opinions?

    • @quinnhofmann5399
      @quinnhofmann5399 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      actually, i'm pretty sure it's just a free website you search by the name of the website and/or domain and it gives you a rating from 0-100 with a breakdown of which areas of the assessment triggered a lower/higher score. That's at least how it worked when I bumped into it... I saw this youtube video embedded in that site before I linked over to watch it on this page. If you tried it and it was trying to sell you something, must've been a different site or I didn't get to the part of their page with the spamware products or downloads.
      I think this guy is just trying to promote traffic to his page for ad revenue if he's trying to do some online monetization, but hopefully he's not trying to sell you what is essentially rotten tomatoes for online retailers.
