iQ Abuse Scan has tagged 25u.com for phishing. Phishing is a cybercrime in which a target or targets are contacted by email, telephone or text message by someone posing as a legitimate person to lure victims into providing personal data such as login details, ID numbers and credit card details. The 'phished' data is then used to access your user accounts and can result in identity theft and financial loss.
Technical Evaluation
We always check which other websites are registered by the same company the website is using. In this case we discovered that the registrar is facilitating a high number of websites that have a low to very low review score. This may be a coincidence but it may also be caused by lax "Know your customer" processes at the domain registration bureau. The trust score of the website has been reduced.
iQ Abuse Scan has reported this website for possible network abuse. Network abuse is the use of a computer network for purposes prohibited by the network's acceptable use policy. It usually includes internet crime and other malicious uses, such as use that may interfere with other users' ability to access network services. Often, the owner of a website does not know its server is being used to abuse the Internet. However, it does mean that a cybercriminal has access to the server and possibly the website. We, therefore, lowered the Trust Score of the website.
This website has been tagged for the distribution of malware by iQ Abuse Scan. Malware is software that performs an unauthorized process that will have negative impact on the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of an information system. Examples are a virus, worm, Trojan horse, or other code-based entity that infects a computer or mobile phone. Spyware and some forms of adware are also examples of malicious code.

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.

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
