How to detect if a shop is FAKE? Because many scammers use templates or are just lazy, there is a lot of copy and paste when they set up a new shop. So here are a few tips:
👉 Go to the “About Us” page and copy some text from the description and google it. If you find other shops that have the same “About Us” description or very similar, then maybe avoid these shops.
👉 The same goes for the Email, Phone Number, and Physical Address in the “Contact us” Section. Just google it and see how many online shops use the same info.
👉 Also, there are places like Reddit and Quora that you can use to search the site and find out what people have to say about them and see if anyone mentioned “scam” or “fraud”
👉 You can find out when the website was launched by looking up the domain name or IP address using “WHOIS Lookup”. It will then tell you when the domain was purchased.
..........My wife once dealt with a "moving company" that seemed fishy - I simply googled their license number and found the same number listed on about a dozen similar websites.
