website looks genuine, but to be honest i dont really know what im supposed to be looking for or how to find out for sure if they are a legitimate company, i just got ripped off by focusclothing :mad: so i dont want the same to happen again. can anyone let me know what they think of this site. or if anyone has ever ordered from it ? ?

cheers :beer:

Hi I too was done by FOCUSCLOTHING and through looking for advice I found a website called E VICTIMS.ORG The have lots of help on what to look for.
Hope it helps

does it have a security certificate?
does it display a landline number and/or a 'real' address
who is the site registered to? check on whois.com and this will tell you WHERE it is registered also which will either reassure or arouse suspicion
check with companies house to see if it is registered
google the company for reviews
if all else fails buy what you want from a company you have heard of and have a track record with.

i think Martin could do well to have a campaign about raising awareness of web shopping safety as many people have got their fingers burnt yet for other people all these checks are second nature.

i've used outdoorandcountry.co.uk before. If you go on the official barbor website it takes you to barborbymail.co.uk which is the partner of outdoorandcountry. hope that helps. andy

thats great news and i am very relieved just to hear someone say they have used this site, i dug around and it looked legitimate, but having been scammed by FOCUSCLOTHING.CO.UK i am just a little bit cautious at the moment.

cheers
