Funny nobody mentioned them yet.

AMAZING company for electronics stuff. Very good customer service too. Not the cheapest, but their prices are very transparent and easy to compare to others.

This is THE official Michael Kors website.

Take care when looking for Michael Kors products, most sites are scams. Make sure you stick to a real known retailer.

snowriver.com is an authorized UGG online retailer and listed on their retailers list:

This site is a total waste of my time. But I love to waste time here and then. The Evil level is just perfect for a relaxing brain quickie.

I have no doubts that the site is legit, I still wonder why they do this:

• Site uses fake VeriSign logo (update: they removed it)

On they topic if their stuff is authentic: (conclusion: yes, it is authentic)

This is ex Farnell which changed its name recently to Element14.

Great site for electronic components and products around electronics. They only have new and authorized products. They are official authorized distributor for many brands. They can deliver to most countries and their minimum orders and delivery charges (often free) are very low.

With tineye.com you can upload an image, or given them an image URL and the site will return where they can find it.

It is a good way to trace some fraudulent sites. You can search i. E. for their fake security seals and find many similar fraudulent sites.

Unfortunately to get volume date (which you can parse with php or similar) you need to pay ($300 for 5000 searches). Otherwise it would be a great tool to find scammers.

A 2nd hand book seller - and this one is a little difficult. I bought there twice, and twice it went wrong. But there are no doubts that the company is honest and want to give good service. I would have no issues to buy there again.

Order #1: I ordered the wrong book because their website had a mismatch of the book title and the ISBN. After I got the wrong book and informed them they gave me immediately a refund - in fact, they didn't ask me to return the book! (I returned it anyway at my expenses, it's a small thing)

Order #2: It went lost in the postal system. Not their fault. After I notified them they ask me to wait another week or so. After that I was given again a refund without any discussion.

I hope next time I will have more luck.

I have used them a few times so far and found them totally reliable. Their prices are not as low as Amazon - but with free international shipping the total cost will be cheaper if you don't have a local Amazon.

I use bing.com a lot for something that google can NOT do: check shared IPs.

Simply use the ip tag in the format ip: 31.222.202.25

Example: http://www.bing.com/search?q=ip:31.222.202.25

bing.com give you more IP sharing sites then other similar sites on the web.

GHD is also a brand that is very often faked by Chinese scammers. There are a few 1000 such fake GHD sites. GHD itself setup a site were you can check if they are authorized, or if it's a fraud:

It's not a UGG shopping site - it's a site that teaches people how to spot fake UGG boots. Do your home work and learn hot to spot the cheaters!

I am a MyWOT contributor for a looong time and often rate sites there. I can't see any big problems there. There are a few minor problems like scammers rate their own site positive. And of course there are some false negatives too.

If YOUR site has a wrong bad rating you should contact those who gave you the rating and ask them to reconsider, specially if your site had some violations that you corrected.

You can also go to their forum and post your site in the 'site owners' category.

They now signed up for the REAL McAfee service, that is good. However, the site still lacks company address and contact details.

1. Store uses a fake Norton/Symantec security seal
2. Total lack of company and contact details

Other then that it's probably OK for cheap gadgets. For more expensive products like phones etc keep in mind that they will naturally require you to return the product to them in China - and shipping to China can be very costly.

Dubious website. Uses fake address and fake phone number. They hide that they operate out of China. Uses fake Norton Security seal. Uses fake reviewers too, as you can see here.

China/Hong Kong store that's bombarding SiteJabber with daily SPAM comments.

Websites lacks company and contact information.

1. No company name
2. No company address
3. Even no idea what country they operate from

The site is IMHO suspicious and has certainly ethical issues. They are pobably ashamed of being Chinese.

The site has a fake US number, but has certainly no physical address in the US. There is no company address on the website. You even don't know what country that gang operates from.

I don't believe that they are scammers, but buyers have a right to know where goods are shipped from.

Caution! Custom made dresses from China are often substandard. Do not get fooled by the images on the website, they are most likely stolen from other sites.
