Ways to spot fake shopping web sites
Here is my list of indications that this is a troll web site and is not legit:
1) No phone number to contact the company at, only an email.
2) A email to the web site to send a phone number so you can call them and discuss your order is ignored.
3) Prices are artifically low.
4) The WHOIS Entry on Register.com is blocked.
5) Go to search.live.com and put in the address of the company. In some cases, the address is a fake address.
6) Do a search on the name of the company on alibaba.com A lot of the chinese web sites register there and you see the fake ones with various inconsistent details like #employees, owner name, etc.
What do you think of these two web sites?
Z9Electronics.com
TraditionsInc.us
I pulled up TraditionsInc on google earth and their address takes me to an empty field with no buildings around. Not saying they are a fake web site, but their circimstances are weird (no phone, etc).
