hey everyone welcome back to the channel
0:02
today we're investigating shops.in a
0:05
site that's raising some serious red
0:07
flags we're going to break down why this
0:09
could be a suspicious site and what you
0:11
need to watch out for let's get
0:14
started let's begin with something
0:16
simple social media genuine online
0:18
stores typically provide links to their
0:21
official social media pages but shops.in
0:24
not a single icon or link to be found
0:26
this is pretty unusual and definitely
0:31
next there's the missing contact
0:33
information shops hasn't provided a
0:35
phone number or detailed address
0:37
legitimate stores make it easy for
0:39
customers to reach them so this lack of
0:41
contact details is another red flag sure
0:44
they might add this information later
0:46
but that doesn't change the fact that
0:48
it's suspicious especially with
0:50
everything else we've
0:52
seen now let's talk about those
0:54
unbelievable discounts shops is offering
0:57
products at deep discounts as shown in
0:59
the screen shot while we all love a good
1:01
deal this is a common tactic used by
1:03
scam sites to lure customers in if it
1:06
seems to good to be true it probably
1:09
is we also noticed that shops. in's
1:12
website design and content match a
1:14
number of other problematic sites this
1:16
is a big red flag as scammers often use
1:19
pre-made templates to create multiple
1:21
scam sites that look almost
1:24
identical and if you're thinking about
1:26
returning something good luck shops doen
1:29
has a confusing using refund policy that
1:31
could make it extremely difficult to get
1:33
your money back this could leave
1:34
customers stuck with products they don't
1:38
use and it doesn't stop their shops Dot
1:41
and has a number of complaints from
1:42
users on platforms like trust pilot
1:45
which you can see in the screenshot this
1:46
is definitely concerning as genuine
1:49
businesses usually don't have this many
1:51
negative reviews from unhappy
1:53
customers so is shops do in legit with
1:57
missing contact details suspicious
1:59
discounts a confusing refund policy and
2:02
user complaints it's clear that shops is
2:04
a suspicious site we highly recommend
2:06
avoiding it and sticking with trusted
2:08

2:10
