How Can You Tell if Its a Dodgy Online Store?

Hi Guys

found a online clothing store I want to purchase from, but a few things dont make sense on this website

The web address is
the store logo on top of every page is "Fashion On"
bottom of the page it says "Powered by Fashion Clothing Shop"

When you go to contact US page
it doesn't give any information about the store, if its in Australia or physical address and phone numbers etc

Anyone purchased from this website before or know how to find out if its a scam?

    1) http://whois.ausregistry.com.au
    2) http://abr.business.gov.au/SearchByAbn.aspx?SearchText=40062…

    No contact details, no social media, ABN and whois searches just lead to a general ABN.

    I'd avoid just based on a few red flags

    • Exactly this, a quick Whois check shows how old the site is, and https://www.mywot.com is a good site for finding out if people have have flagged the site as dangerous/malicious.

      This site has hidden everything, from its owners to its contact details and the day the domain was bought. Only someone with something to hide would go to this much trouble, privacy costs money.

  • A few things that concern me. All prices (normal & reduced) are odd amounts. Delivery is only DHL. Using a .au address but nothing actually relating to Aus

  • The checkout & payment pages are not secure as well.

  • if you want G-Star, you can get it on aliexpress, but it will also be a copy
