We noticed that jobs are being offered where you get paid to click on ads, to fill in survey forms or to view online commercials. These kinds of jobs are often meaningless. The advertiser does not want to have clicks from people who are not really interested in his products or services. Likewise, surveys are meant to be filled in by people interested in a certain topic. In many cases companies offering rewards for these kind of activities are scams. They are often caught by the advertising networks quickly. In other cases, the company offering the jobs simply does not pay-out. Check out our blog post: "Pay to Click Scams" for more information.
This website seems to offer website owners the option to shorten links on their website and receive advertisement revenues. We received several kinds of complaints about link shorteners. Many website owners complain that they do not receive the advertising revenues promised. Web site shortening companies often display banners in dubious or illegal ways. As a result they are taken down quickly by hosting companies or ad networks. As a result, website owners lose their earned revenues.
Consumers visiting websites with shortened links, often receive a very bad user experience. Website shorteners place pages between the site where the link was placed and the destination site, often with massive amounts of ads, video commercials, forms which require giving personal data and sometimes malware.
In our Analysis we always check the Tranco ranking. In this case it was low. A low Tranco ranking means that the website has relatively few visitors. For a new website this is logical. The same is true for a highly specialized website. However if the website claims to be a large corporate or popular site, than warning flags should be raised.
This domain name has only been registered recently. This means that the website is actually quite young and few if any consumers have had time to leave reviews or social media comments. It is therefore best to check this website thoroughly to make sure the website was not set-up by a scammer. Please check out our article "How to recognize a scam".
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.
This webshop is offering payment methods that can be considered reasonably safe such as credit card and Paypal. These companies usually offer the option to get your money back in case the merchant does not deliver or the product has been broken during transportation. However, no payment method gives money back all the time. Make sure you file a complaint in time and be careful with the limitations your credit card or payment methods have set. Our blog post on Safe Payment Methods discusses all payment methods offered.
We found a valid SSL Certificate. An SSL certificate is used to secure communication between your computer and the website. There are different levels of SSL certification. A free one is also available and this one is used by online scammers. Still, not having an SSL certificate is worse than having one, especially if you have to enter your contact details.
