Buy From Trusted Brands

There are many scam merchants who advertise themselves heavily and offer products at unrealistic prices. Perhaps if the product you are looking for is not provided by your favorite merchant then try to buy from those whom you have already purchased at least once before.
Customer Service And Web Design
A scam merchant can easily be identified from its design and customer service. A quality online store always show security certificates on prominent positions and offer both live chat and phone support. If you are not convinced with the site’s look then simply don’t buy.
Read Reviews
More information you have about the merchant, more secure you will be. Do some Goggling, read reviews and search for the terms which are scaring you (company name + Scam). Although you cannot trust much on this information but it will give you an idea about the overall reputation of the company.

Any one can receive traffic through paid advertisements, a good company spends time and resources on search engine optimization. So, don’t buy from a merchant that hardly exist in the Google’s index.
Web Server Is Secure?
Always check the seal information of SSL, a scam merchant can use fake and unknown security certificates. Also make sure that checkout is located on the encrypted server and its URL must start from HTTPS rather than HTTP.
