Website Scam Checker

Why check the credibility of a website?

Although there are many high-quality websites, some may be imitations, spammers, unscrupulous sellers, and other scams. Before making a purchase or entering personal information on an unfamiliar site, it is advisable to evaluate its level of trustworthiness. If the service gave the site a low score, it is recommended to find the desired product elsewhere, where there are more guarantees that you will get a quality product and avoid scammers.

In addition, it is recommended to study the content of the site:

• Check the coincidence of the specified TIN and LLC with information from official sources;
• Find the contact information: fraudulent sites often do not provide working ways of contact;
• Validate the accuracy of personal information requirements: bank details, login and password from other services.

Even if the information on the site seems reliable and trustworthy, in any case be careful when entering payment and other personal data.

• Domain age;
• Indexation Google;
• Number of site users;
