Company Review
The identify of the website owner has been hidden. This may be done for a valid reason as spammers use this information to email website owners. Unfortunately is also makes identification of the owner difficult. We prefer if the website does show his true identity.
This company is offering helpdesk services which seem to be very generic. In the past, we have come across multiple websites which proved to be a scam. The trick is to let you call a number that seems free but in the end, may cost you several dollars per minute. They will try to keep the call going as long as possible. If you have been approached via email, social media, via an alert on your computer or pop-up while browsing, stating you may have a computer, virus or other problem and have to call a number, please be cautious. Read our article on "IT and other kinds of Helpdesk Scams".
Webshop Review
The domain name of this website has been registered several years ago. In general, the older the website the more trustworthy it becomes. However, scammers sometimes buy existing websites and start doing their evil thing, so please make sure you check for other scammy attributes as well.
The Tranco ranking of this website is low. This can be considered low in relation to other websites from the website's country. If you think this website should be very popular, please invest additional time in researching the company as this is suspicious. For a smaller or starting website a low ranking can be considered normal.
We lowered the geeker.com review score as we found several websites on the same server with a low trust score. Online scammers have a tendency to set-up multiple malicious websites on one server, sometimes more than hundreds. You can see which websites we found under the "Server" tab on this page.
We detected that this website is offering movies for download. The website may be completely legit but we recommend caution as fraudulent websites have offered download services in the past. These services proved to be cost subscription services or the files downloaded contained ransomware of computer viruses. Check out our blog article "Alternatives for illegal downloading".
Please contact your credit card company if you have any doubts about why this website may have taken money from your credit card. It may be a "Chargeback Prevention Scam". These websites offer unsubscribe service as they want to prevent that too many consumers to a chargeback (and they lose the opportunity to get more money from unaware consumers). Some adult content and gambling sites use unknown site names to unsubscribe users to prevent conflicts with spouses. If you are however not using any of this kind of service, do not contact the website but directly your credit card company to get your money back.
Technical Review
We identified an SSL certificate meaning that the data shared between your browser and the website is encrypted and cannot be read by others. SSL certificates are always used by legit and safe websites. Unfortunately scammers increasingly also use SSL certificates so it is no guarantee that you are visiting a reliable website.
We are fingerprinting each website we analyze. This website has technical features that match with websites that have earlier been marked as a scam. Caution is required!
The company seems to support payment methods that offer a "money-back guarantee" such as Alipay, Mastercard, Paypal, and Visa. While this money-back guarantee is not 100% secure, it does allow consumers in most cases to get their money back if the product is not delivered or proves to be fake.

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
