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. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Re: 7 Steps to Identify Scammers.

I have been checking several websites in ecvv.com, I have seen pages that have a red logo with an "R", it is suppossed that they are fully registered, they even show a photo from their bussines license. But are they trustable?

Thanks.

Re: 7 Steps to Identify Scammers.

Hi, you can tell me about this (the text)? This guy wanted to sell me a cellphone, but don′t have references, only want the money and send later. This is a scam, right? He′s using the name of your company...

The products in ecvvshopping are all original? Thanks
