7 Steps to Identify Scammers.

This is how I normally do to identify scammers, with this, you should be ok for quite some time.



First of all, I do Google search with the name of the company and the word scam. Normally, there should be no page with the company listed with the word scam next to them but if you see at least one, maybe it is a scam. No need to have several pages, only one is neccessary. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


Secondly, I go on a very good website, www.fraudwatchers.org who has a lsit of all website and company listed as scam. They just saved me from sending sample to a scam company. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


And thirdly, just ask people around on forums just like this one. I saw a mate who"ve done that. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


Fourth steps is that you can verify the address they gave you and find out what"s really on this. Go on www.whitepages.com and enter the address they gave you to find out if the address is really registered as their business address or at least at their names. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Thank you for your support to ECVV.com.

 

How to eliminate the uncredit clients before starting your business.

1、Don't cooperate with the company which haven't complete basic information .
2、Don't cooperate with company which mismatch telephone number and address.
3、Don't cooperate with the company which offered too low price.

Re: 7 steps to identify scammers.

I wnet through most of the 7 steps listed above and still got scammed.

Legiantech.com is a scam. Andi Manurung, or whatever your real name is, receives funds for goods and then blocks the buyers ip address from his web site. Making it look like the web site has been suspended by his hosting service. Don't deal with this scammer. He will take your money and disappear.
Here also runs jayatron.com under the name of Eddy Lumbangaol. Buyer beware!!!!!!!!

Re: 7 steps to identify scammers.

Hi Jerry,

I have just sent money to Shenzen Wholesale Co Ltd. My bank in UK have confirmed that the money has gone into the correct account details as given me by Shenzen. But Shenzen company are saying that they have not received my money. Payment was sent on the 12th November I have reference numbers and everything from my bank which I have sent to shenzen company, they are still telling me that they have not received the money. Have I been scammed?

Thank you

Taffy Cat

I am sorry to hear that. I think it is a scam, if you are verity.

If the scammer is from Ecvv.com, ECVV will help you, you must send them enough proof.
