Above is the information from the people who ripped off many shoppers.
Have at it...
HERE IS A LITTLE ADVICE TO EVERYONE.
1 - when you are unsure of the company, do a whois lookup on the company.
2 - See if they are listed in the Better Business Bureaus at BBB.org
3 - In the whois lookup, see if the company just registered their domain name. if the company is new ( BE CAREFUL ).
Usually, a legit company will register with a long contracted period of time.
4 - No company ( A legit company ) will ever have a Hotmail email as their contact email. (there is your major red flag there. )
5 - A company that conducts busniess in the U.S.A. MUST have a USA Business location by law.
Meaning, If you are buying from a company from over seas, they MUST have a location located in the United States as well.
either a USA Head Quarters or a Distribution Plant in the name of the company you are purchasing from, or an actual store location.
The laws state in the USA that any foreign company, must be registered within the USA soil in order to conduct business with the general population public in the USA.
6 - Companies that does not have divisions within their company are (red flags) .
Every company that exist in the USA, MUST have a accounts receivable and a Accounts Billing Department.
Companies that take large amounts of time to either contact the customer back on a proper legit email address with the name of the person and address locations,
along with the phone number and extension and other business info, is against USA business laws.
And these are NOT local laws being broken, this NOW is considered FEDERAL LAW.
7 - Also, EVERY Company or Person that registers a Domain name, must give a credit card information and/or a Bank info,
along with personal information, in order for a domain name to be registered.
IF YOU HAVE BEEN TAKEN, you can track the company that hosted the fake company website.,
then request or court supina the hosting company, to get the information if need. this is better executed, by a lawyer.
8 - You can actually by law report this to the F.B.I. as this is a Federal Jurisdiction and Federal LAWS automatically apply.
9 - Also, anytime you pay with a credit card, this is trackable by your bank or card issuer, because remember this, someone has to receive it right ?
in order for someone to get your money, they have to receive it, and if you paid by credit card, and the company broke the law,
it now falls under Federal Laws and Jurisdictions.
and finally,
The company who hosted the fake company HAS ALL the real information of the fake company,
because in order for anyone to HOST or register a domain, they MUST hand over personal information.
this leaves a great trail to track those people down and lock them up for good.
LAST ADVICE:
1 - DON'T be stupid and shop over seas., shop at a company that has a USA location.
shopping over seas raises red flags really fast. - because its easier for them to take your money, and harder for you to get it back if you have been dooped.
BE SMART...!!
