  • Try checking the Whois database and take a look at the web ranking site Alexa to see what the site’s worldwide web ranking is - anything in the top 100,000 means it’s reasonably big; a good, though not foolproof indication of legitimacy.

    Hope this helps.
  • Was already in the process of checking.

    Site is registered in the Netherlands, but more worryingly, the payments page comes from Russia and isn't secure.

    Apart from that, there's no address for them and the only contact is a North American phone number.

    Stay well away IMO.

    Dodgy! Wasn't there a Russia site that sold mp3 downloads for dirt cheap that closed down not so long ago. I believe a lot of people still had their credit card details registered with them and were very concerned about it too. Don't know if anything came of it though.

    Nice picture of a padlock on the checkout page looks really secure doesn't it.

    Registered in the NL with a US address on the website and no other contact details. A picture of a huge building
    makes you feel assured it is a large company.
