Saw this “great” website recently with massive sunglasses discounts
http://sunglassesusonline.com/
Seemed too cheap and of course if “something is too good to be true …”
Further investigation shows the website complies to all the dodgy tactics. Have a look at this guide to spotting fake sites.

Now I’m not proposing to uncover all the thousands of web SCAM sites but this proves as a perfect example of how you can investigate yourselves. A few additional things I would add:
- There is no PayPal payment method – this is suspicious
- Do a search on ebay for the same product – see if the prices are similar. Most legitimate international vendors will have an ebay site also.
- The copyright at the bottom; although it shows Ray-Ban when you hover over the link it links to itself
- Nowhere on the site is there any business ownership detail
