Fake site?

Maxillo

Hi.

Trying to figure if this site is legitimate. Has a couple of red flags but hard to be sure.

Any ideas?

The site sells shoes and is called media twentyfour .co. uk

Cheers for any help you can give.

My systems won't even bring it up so possibly dodgy.

Definitely a website to avoid.
http://www.mediatwentyfour.co.uk/?route=common/home

No address,
No phone number,
No details of where of if they are registered as a business,
Very poor English on the website,
Prices that are far too low to be realistic,
and when you checkout and have to enter card details, it's an unsecure connection.

Massive discounts
No address listed
Only contact method listed is a web form
Appears to be based outside UK
URL has no relationship to what they sell

Avoid.

Avoid it I shall then.

Thanks for your help.

This is how the mediatwentyfour.co.uk website appeared a few years ago:

For sites that use UK domains, you can use this link to check who has registered the domain.

The domain seems to have been registered by it's current owner in June 2017.

^^ This .
Even if the rest of the experience was perfect.


Never ever ever (enough evers ?) plug your card details into ANY box on ANY website that doesn't start with https://
