We all know , ( as do the police) that online fraud is a very profitable and easy avenue for criminals.
Isn't it about time we created a sort of flow chart of ' how to check out an online company, BEFORE we order?'
A bit like your guide to getting a cheap holiday, or getting cheap insurance.
What about ' checking out' online companies.
After many years on mse ive been surprised by exactly HOW much of an online footprint ,many ' company directors' leave-at times some of it has been quiet scary- didn't often post what I found!
I commend mse actually for often fighting to keept the threads about these companies visible.
Online fraud is massive, the police are very vague and underfunded.
I challenge mse to do their bit.
