The internet has made shopping and booking very easy. You can sit in the comfort of your room to buy or book anything. The consequence of the shopping ease is that many popular retail or eCommerce websites have been cloned. This is done in a bid to swindle unsuspecting persons of their hard earned money. If you are are not careful, you will fall for this because the fake and original websites are very similar. Notwithstanding, there are still ways you can spot the differences. Here are ways you can spot a fake eCommerce website.

The URL is suspicious
The URL of eCommerce websites is very simple and easy to remember. When the URL is complicated and different from the usual website you are familiar with, it is a red flag.

There is an obvious language barrier
Quite a number of sites have language options to cater for different markets and region. However, if there is a language barrier and you do not understand what is written, it is a cause for concern. In addition, if there are so many spelling mistakes and the translation is poor, just move on. It is probably cloned.

The brand selection makes no sense
Does a site's brand list sound more like a random mix of popular names? Counterfeit sites thrive on confusing people who want what is popular. So, be very careful.

Questionable contact information
Any serious eCommerce business will have an email in their name and not a Gmail or Hotmail account.

Unclear refund policy
For most websites, refund policies are very clear. You just call their customer care number and make a complaint that you do not want the product anymore. They will send a courier to pick up the item and your money will be refunded. If the opposite is the case, do not make purchases on that website.

The prices are too good to be true
Clearly, many people love cheap offers. However, when the offer appears too fantastic and you know the particular product can never be available at the price, it is a sign that they just want to grab your attention with the price. For example, 80% off a N50,000 product. It's too incredible to be true!

Oh

There are so many easy ways to identify fake e-commerce stores,
1. The designs are usually shabby and suspicious
2. The write up sometimes doesn't match up with the products or services
3. There are no contact info
4. compelling you to pay first before delivery even when you choose pay on delivery

Good.shop from.china on legit sites below

Well said...


Additionally, some scammers do spend thousands to put up a fake site


So my advise is for everyone to trade with caution!



BTW, for you blogging tips and money making tips click here

Fake and fraudulent e-commerce site like
deal dey.com NO POD, 3DAYS RETURN POLICY and they will always deliver your FAKE products by weekend so you won't have time to return it.... SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE

Awon oloshi dealdey!!!

Mtcheeeew


There are retail online shops in Germany they can't be translated yet they are very legit.


So if someone opens www. comebuyfromhere. com it is a scam because it's long? Sites with short names still scam people.



What every shopper should know which YOU have missed is the security of the site HTTPS. Or the site MUST have a padlock and it's green.




When you don't have your facts right please don't write.



I'm shocked this made FP

Thought I was the only one who noticed it. Truly pathetic!

This is the most ridiculous, short sighted post I have seen in a while.

OP really has no clue what he is talking about.

Going by what he posted, that means that a host of shopify sites out there doing legitimate business and making cool sums are fake.

And to think this made Frontpage.
