Internet Purchasing Concerns

Featured Replies

I would like to purchase something via the net but not entirely sure that it is 100% legit but the website (not ebay) offers payment via credit card or paypal.

In the possible unfortunate situation where I may need a refund what payment method offers the best security??

Thanks...slippery

What is the url of the website?

There are members here who are savvy with e-commerce sites.

Hi all.

Basically it is a site that offers working from home ( for my Thai wife) typing work but the info/set up pack costs about £ 40.00 GBP.

Should they not deliver on the promises of the website I would want a refund and need to know the best payment method that enables a quick refund on moneys paid.

Thanks .....slippery

I agree with faransay, but should you wish to get into it, I recommend using PayPal. (As a seller accepting PayPal myself, I have noticed that for PayPal, "the buyer is always right". Any complaints to PayPal will hardly get investigated, and you as a buyer will have the benefit of the doubt.)

If they accept PayPal, you should also check whether or not they are "verified" as sellers. If not, don't bother dealing with them.

But also, if you share the link, I am sure people here could let you know if it's legitimate, safe or not and what they think of it.

Email and ask them to confirm or deny a scam!

Hi all.

You have all expressed your concerns regarding the SCAM.....Thats what I first thought.

Have decided to follow my instincts and not comntimnue with any payment.

Thanks for all of your advice.

Regards Slippery.......

These scams normally end up working something like this:

1) You never hear of them or your money again

-or-

2) You receive a few blank sheets of A4 in an envelope (the pack) so they have fullfilled their obligation towards you, and never get any work.

-or-

3) You get instructions to type letters to friends / family / whomever to apply for this same scam and get a commission for every one that signs up..

In case of 2) and 3) you don't have any legal foothold because they sent you what's promised, a set-up pack.

Good luck.
