In today’s world, online shopping (buying
items from the internet), is now a common practice. In fact this has go
extremely in the last two years. because, statistical data has shown that online transaction has increased drastically to about 300% in the past 24 months. This is true because online shopping is more
fun, lively, easier, convenience and hustle-free. The truth is that, despite
numerous advantages related to shopping online, the internet spammers has also
take the avenue to plunge into peoples money and steal their cash. For
instance, experts on cyber frauds has predicts that with the current rapid
increase in the online transactions people are more liable to fall to the hand
of "scammer". this is true because most of the top country of the world like china, USA, JAPAN,etc, has launch an anti-cyber-crime campaign. China for example, is now enforcing more sanctions on online malpractices so as to bring culprits in to book. But fortunately, there are solutions to such situation, just as
pencil is created with eraser, so also is solution to this menace. And if this
can be rightly complied with one is liable of escaping the online fraudsters. You
need to take care here because “he who is planning to steal from you will never
give you a prior notice” so also is that no thief will advertise on the radio
before carrying out his damaging work.
- Address; The first thing to check in any site (especially shopping, trading, investing, gambling sites) is their address. People has proof that most of the scam site never has a REAL address so you must watch it very well. Just as its dangerous for you to follow a person that you never know his whereabouts, so also is unsafe to have deal(s) with anonymous sites. To do this you can easily check it with google search, or simply looking at what had been people reactions about the site.
- Contact line/fax/mail: in continuation of the above point comes this one. Now the next is to know whether it has man-to-man contact facility. This will help you to prove the genuineness of the site. It will also help you to know if they are reliable. This is also effective in guarding you against online misconducts because even if they speak with you their plans will be derailed a little. This include humanly working hotlines, mail address, video interactions etc, people has confirm it that most of scam site never has a humanly working mail address or phone numbers.

Alexa rankings and comment: alexa is a website that helps to present monthly and daily traffic(web visitors), review, location, founder, on every websites on the internet. Though this is not the ultimate source of proof of “accuracy” but at least it gives you a sense of security. Since they (alexa) is a renowned online agency that help the public to spot out on-net worthy websites and exposure of websites with black record.
- Scamadvise’s review(comments) : just like alexa. They provide unbiased info about any site that will surely help in online surfing security. And most importantly they provide any fraud related remark on websites which will help to know if such site is worth dealing with or not. It is a one-stop site that will help you to suggest
- Peoples review: To me, this is the best, accurate, unbiased and most reliable of all time, about getting to know the profile of any website. Peoples’ review are the thing people has to say about a website, the reason is that as soon as a site is launch people would have visited it to know what is going on in the site. Therefore, they help to gather reliable comment and opinion that are useful and helpful to prevent someone from online or even offline scams. It include the comment of people who have use the website in question, in the review they will share their individual experience about the site “UN-bias” here the most interesting thing is that people commenting never know it other, they might have far geographical distance, and difference continent they will now come to say what they have seen when they have dealt with a site. This is when you will get information that the site owners will intend to keep. Let me tell you if other techniques are manipulated this method(peoples’ review ) can never be manipulated. To do this you will log-on to Google.com, then type something like, if the name of the site is www.akpeter.com them type it to Google.com, like this kay.com review. Then browse for it you must do this because you wanted to avoid fraud.
