1. Domain name is always as same as the brand name.
The fraud website cannot use the official domain registered by the brand already. If the website represents the official website, check the domain name first. But read the domain name carefully, some fraud side will use a similar name to cheat you, such as www.leg0.com or www.Iego.com. The best way is to google the name of the shop and sees if Google can find it. Also, check the details what Google shows to you.
2. The layout(details) of the website
If the layout of the website is awful or everything mixed together, you should be careful that it must be a fraud website. For instance, this website screenshot the rating, but not to implement it. If you can not see any review on the website, it must be a fraud.
3. Do not pay by Credit Card or Bank Transfer
The scammers will reuse your card details to make more requests. Pay by PayPal or other organisations which can suspend/hold the payment when you make a dispute is the best choice.
4. Do more research before you place an order
Use the keyword on the website on Google to see how many people visit this site and interacted with it. Just be careful the fraud review because the scammers are not along.
If you still cannot make sure that website is a fraud or not, just leave it alone and ignore the popup ads from the social media because it is not worth to pay the money you got by your hard working.
May the force be with you.
