hey everyone welcome back to the channel
0:02
today we're going to take a closer look
0:04
at ban.com a site that's been raising
0:07
some serious red flags is it a leged
0:09
place to shop or is it just another scam
0:12
in Disguise let's break it
0:15
down first things first let's talk about
0:18
the address they've listed 77 Walnut
0:21
Creek Drive NW Lilburn GA
0:25
3047 sounds like a standard business
0:28
address right well not not quite when we
0:31
checked it out on Google Maps guess what
0:33
we found it's a residential house not a
0:36
business or a store take a look at the
0:39
screenshot to see for yourself yep
0:41
that's a regular home not the kind of
0:44
address you'd expect from a legitimate
0:46
business scam sites often use fake
0:48
addresses like random residential homes
0:51
to trick you into thinking they're real
0:56
there next ban.com doesn't have any
1:00
social media icons linking to their
1:02
official Pages now this is something you
1:05
almost always see on trustworthy
1:06
websites social media links are an easy
1:09
way for companies to connect with their
1:11
customers but when they're missing
1:13
that's something scam sites do all the
1:17
time now let's talk about their sales
1:20
ban is offering some pretty insane
1:22
discounts on their products huge
1:25
markdowns just like you've seen on many
1:27
scam sites before and guess what we've
1:30
found multiple Shady sites using the
1:32
same tactic attracting customers with
1:34
deals that seem too good to be
1:38
true and here's where it gets worb
1:40
one.com website design and content look
1:43
almost identical to other known scam
1:45
sites scam sites often copy paste
1:48
website layouts and content to create
1:50
fake stores and this one fits that
1:54
perfectly then there's their return
1:57
policy have you ever tried reading a
1:59
return polic policy that's so confusing
2:01
it makes your head spin well that's what
2:04
bwan is offering it's vague complicated
2:07
and could make it nearly impossible for
2:10
customers to get a full refund if they
2:12
need one this is another classic sign of
2:17
site and just when you think it can't
2:19
get worse we find that ban.com is part
2:22
of a much bigger problem there are tons
2:25
of complaints against similar sites
2:27
customers reporting missing orders
2:29
delayed deliver iies and no refunds this
2:32
is a pattern we've seen before and it's
2:37
good so after taking all of this into
2:40
account ban.com with its residential
2:42
address missing social media crazy
2:45
discounts confusing return policy and
2:48
the connection to other scam sites it's
2:50
pretty clear ban.com is a suspicious
2:53
site be careful folks if you're thinking
2:56
about shopping on bwan I'd suggest you
2:59
take a step step back and do some more
3:01

3:03
trick you so stay alert if you found
