The question comes up often as more and more scam sites are created. Here's a test that you can apply. I don't do business if they raise any red flags. Since questions about business legitimacy come up often, I thought I'd start a thread on it for future reference.
Phone Number: Is there a phone number prominently displayed on their home page. Red Flag if there is not.
Address: Do they have a physical address posted? If not Red Flag. If they do have an address, what does it look like on Google street view or satellite map? Red Flag if it doesn't look like a business.
Inventory: Do they have a lot of hard to find stuff or too good to be true pricing? Red Flag if they do.
Business History: When you Google the business name with the words review and complaint, what do you find? Little footprint or a lot of negative reviews or BBB complaints is a red flag.
Payment Method: Crypto, Venmo, Pay Pal friends and family only? Red Flag.
Site Language: Do you notice language errors or irregularities? Red Flag if there are errors and oddities. Good info! Sadly there are so many scammers these days its easy to get caught up in some mess if one lets their guard down for even a second Fact! Thing of it is cops and courts will do nothing about it, that's the sad part. Lawlessness is going to get much worse in the coming years.

Cops and Courts can't find scammers on the internet. They don't have the savvy or the programers to pay to find where they originated. Only the FBI can do that, and they are already swamped trying to find scammers. They are also too busy spying on conservatives instead of potential terrorists
