Hi Everyone,
it’s very very unsafe to trust this company with your assets/money. Please Stay Away from This Company so you Don’t Regret like I did few weeks ago. I would have put a zero Star but it forces me to put in one star.

Company Evaluation

The owner of the website is hiding his identity. Spammers use this information to promote services to website owners. Some website owners therefor chose to hide their contact details. However, it can also be misused by scammers. Our algorithm gives a high rating if the identity of the website owner is shown.

The company has been reviewed both very positively as well as negatively. This is unusual. We, therefore, advise you to do more research. Please read our article How to Recognize Fake Reviews. Why are people giving so mixed reviews? Are the positive reviews by anonymous reviews who have only left one review? Why are some people giving very negative reviews while others rate the company high? 

Webshop Evaluation

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.

We have detected that the website may offer cryptocurrency-related information, products and/or services. We consider these kinds of services to be high-risk for consumers. Even experts in cryptocurrencies have trouble distinguishing legit digital currency services from frauds and scams. We recommend you to be very diligent in checking website offering crypto-related services before you invest or use their services. Check How to check if a cryptocurrency site is legit or a scam. to learn more.

This online store is offering products that are popular amongst scammers. As demand is high, these scammers are trying to lure you to buy these products often at much lower prices than the normal market rates. We advise you to take extra care before you order by checking if the company is legit or possibly a scam. Please read our blog post "How to recognize a Scam" for tips & tricks. 

We discovered that the domain of this website has been registered several years ago. Websites of scammers are usually very new. Still, you have to be careful. Scammers nowadays also buy old and existing websites to start their malpractice. Checking a website for other scam signals remains essential. 

Gift cards are an excellent substitute for cash or credit cards when shopping, and they also make wonderful presents. But gift cards are also used in charge-back and other frauds by con artists. Gift cards are also often purchased by scammers using stolen credit cards, who then sell them to unwary customers. As a result, it's crucial to only buy gift cards from reputable brand stores and avoid doing so from independent merchants.

Due to the difficulty of tracing gift cards, scammers have long used them to steal money from unsuspecting victims. We do not recommend purchasing gift cards from unofficial third-party websites and advise you preferably get them from credible shop merchants (such as amazon.com). By doing this, authenticity is ensured and the possibility of buying gift cards that have previously been tampered with is diminished.

Technical Evaluation

This website is using tools to show reviews which it can manipulate itself. In theory, the owner of the site can decide to not show, edit or prioritize reviews. While the website may be legit, this kind of internal review systems are also used by scammers who create their own reviews. As a result, we gave the website slightly fewer points.

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.

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
