Online shopping
Review an online store for relevant risk signals before buying or sharing data.
Quick answer
Before buying from an unfamiliar store, verify identity, domain, pricing, payment methods, return policies and independent reputation. An extraordinary discount or artificial urgency does not prove a scam, but it is a reason to verify more carefully.
What to check
Business identity, contact details and consistency of legal information.
Domain, age, redirects and resemblance to known brands.
Pricing, payment methods, returns and pressure to act quickly.
Independent reputation and consistency between what the site claims and what can be verified elsewhere.
Next step
01
Search for the company and domain independently rather than relying on links from the site itself.
02
If you pay, prefer methods with buyer protection and avoid irreversible transfers while doubts remain.
03
If something feels inconsistent, analyse the URL and save screenshots before continuing.

FAQ
No. HTTPS encrypts the connection, but a fraudulent website can also use a valid certificate.
Not by itself. It is contextual evidence that should be combined with identity, reputation, content and commercial behaviour.
Save evidence, contact your bank or payment provider quickly, and use official reporting or support channels where appropriate.
