Is Sirinote.com a Fraud or Legit Business?
Author: Adam Collins
The ease of convenience with online shopping is what makes it enticing to many people. That ease is what most scammers try to use and defraud people. When Sirinote appeared on most searches on ScamAdviser, we decided to check it out and see if it is a legit business.
Sirinote is a fashion store that sells everything from women’s clothes to men’s clothes to accessories. They don’t stop there as they also sell furniture.
Too good deals
When a company sells goods at a discount, the main aim is to entice more customers. But when the deal is too good, one wonders if the deal is real. With Sirinote.com, there are some products that are being sold at a price way lower than market average.
When I searched “2pc Maddox Right Arm Facing Sectional Set with Cuddler Brown – Picket House Furnishings”, the price was $169.00.
When I searched the same products on popular ecommerce stores like Walmart and Target, the price was more that 10 times more than what Sirinote were offering.
Such high differences are always suspicious as lower prices are a common trick used by scammers to lure people into paying for products that will not arrive.
We found this to be a common theme especially on their furniture sections where they sell products at prices 20 times lower than what other stores are selling.
Relatively new site with no reviews
Sirinote was started in September 2021, which makes it a few months old. With most new sites, it can be hard to figure them out as there is no point of reference. I could not find reviews online about the site. There were no reviews listed on the site on any of their products that I checked. I also did not find any reviews on popular sites like Sitejabber as there were zero reviews.
This could be due to the fact that the site is still relatively young, but it does not go a long way in building consumer confidence.
I couldn’t find any social media handles related to the site. There were no link buttons on the site nor did my search yield results. I found this to be odd as most online stores now bank on social media marketing to attract new customers.
Overall, there was little information to suggest the site is legit or nor. The scare information and the abnormal prices overlap with what we see in other scams. Proceed with caution when shopping here.

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
