How to find out if a website is a scam or legit & [online purchasing] - Atmosphere - 04-11-2010
I'm going to show you 'How to find out if a website is a scam.'
Also this is for if you dont use ebay,kriegslist,and amazon.com. Say you want to buy a ps3 for whatever price and want to make sure that its not a scam you shuold do these steps...
First: Go to www.google.com, type the site name and after you type the site name put 'is a scam', 'is a fake site'
'ps3cheap.com scam', 'ps3cheap.com fake'
example: ps3cheap.com is a fake site,ps3cheap.com is a scam,ps3cheap scam, ps3cheap fake.
Second: Go to http://www.mywot.com/ after you go to there look at the top right and it should say 'www.example.com' So put in the site name
example: ps3cheap.com and it will bring you results:
http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/ps3cheap.com
Also you can use these sites:

Hope this helps with online purchases and finding scams.
