  • Inspect the website URL/domain name:
    • Be cautious of domain names that look suspiciously similar to reputable companies but have slight misspellings or additional characters (e.g., "allfreshseafoods.com" instead of "allfreshseafood.com").

Β 

Β 

    • Be wary of domains that use unusual suffixes or are not common for commercial sites (e.g., ".xyz" instead of ".com").

Β 

Β 

  • Research the Company and reviews on the official website:
    • Search for reviews and feedback from other customers.
    • Check for the company’s presence on social media and review platforms.

  • Beware of Subdomains:
    • Be cautious if the URL uses a subdomain that looks like a primary domain (e.g., "seafood.allfresh.com" might be legitimate, but "allfresh.fakewebsite.com" is likely a scam).

Β 

  • Beware of URL Shorteners:
    • Scammers often use URL shorteners (e.g., bit.ly, tinyurl.com) to hide the actual destination of the link. Avoid clicking on shortened URLs unless you can verify their source.

    • Reputable companies often use their own branded URL shorteners. For example, instead of a generic shortener, All Fresh Seafood might use something like β€œallfreshseafood.attn.tv/abc123”.



Β 

  • Avoid URLs with Suspicious Short Domains:
    • Be cautious of URLs that use very short, unfamiliar, or oddly formatted domains (e.g., β€œsea.fo” instead of β€œseafood.com”).

Β 

  • Look for Clear and Detailed Product Information:
    • A reputable site will provide detailed descriptions of their products, including origin, handling, and delivery information.

  • Evaluate Pricing:
    • Be wary of prices that are significantly lower than the market average.
    • Compare prices with other reputable seafood vendors.

  • Check Return and Refund Policies:
    • Legitimate businesses will have clear, fair, and accessible return and refund policies.
    • Be cautious if the site lacks this information or if the policies seem unreasonable.

    • Avoid direct bank transfers or wiring money.
