Hi Guys. How do I know if it's safe to order from a site? It's not bbb accredited. How can I find out?


if they say trust me or thank you!


1) Check resellerratings.com
2) If it's too good to be true, it probably is.
3) Google the store name to see if there are any reviews, etc. about the site.
4) Make sure you use a credit card (not a debit card, not a transfer from your bank account), preferably an AMEX.

btw, what is the site?


Thank you. I will do that. Once I order everything good off the website, and it's empty, I will give you the link

on top of that, use paypal/google checkout if it's available
use a "virtual" credit card if available through the CC company

That sounded odd to me as well. It might be that ESL OP means he/she is going to buy everything and then would post the link to the site.

maybe a going out of biz site, but then I'd be scared they would take money and be gone.


One thing I like to do with suspected scam site is to take a block of text from the site, such as from the "about us" page, and throw it into google. Lots of scam sites rip off legit sites, so if you find another site with the same exact text, there's a pretty good chance it's a scam site.


Here's the best tip...if you found it and not many others know about it...it's a scam.

That's a bit of a dickish attitude for someone asking for advice, no?

Or if they talk about how much they love God!
