Recently a lot of people have been searching for reviews about an online jewelry seller named “I Spy Jewelry”. They’re wondering if it’s a scam. Here’s the answer: it is! Do not shop on this website!

There have been many negative reviews about the website, with customers claiming that they never received the product. What’s worse, whenever they try to reach the shop there’s no response, let alone any standard process regarding refunds and disputes.

How To Spot a Fake Online Shopping Site

1. Too-good-to-be-true deals:

The website now features a 75% off campaign — that’s suspiciously cheaper than usual.

2. Lots of irrelevant reviews

Although there seem to be various positive reviews below each product page, they are irrelevant and repetitive. In fact, we found that all these product listings share the same 33 5-star reviews:

3. Low trust scores

The trust score of the website is extremely low — only 1 out of 100 (Scamadviser).

Some more red flags to watch out for:

• Unusual payment methods (wire transfer/cash apps etc.).
• Unreasonable requests for detailed personal information.
• Typos and questionable wording.
• A lack of valid contact details on the site.
