Recently, there has been a rise in online scams involving websites that promise Montura products at discounted prices. If the site’s reliability is not verified, it’s easy to fall victim to these scams - either by not receiving the purchased product or, even worse, by exposing sensitive personal information.

To shop safely online, it’s crucial to ensure the retailer is authorized and to follow best practices for spotting fraudulent websites.

Here are 8 key points you should pay close attention to.

1. Is the discount real?

E-commerce sites can offer attractive deals, but be cautious of offers that seem too good to be true. Extremely low prices, unrealistic discounts, or limited-time “must-act-now” promotions are often used to lure unsuspecting buyers. Always take a moment to verify the retailer’s credibility and compare prices with trusted sources before making a purchase.

2. Does the site have a good reputation?

If you’re visiting a website for the first time, take a moment to check user reviews and feedback. Search the site’s name along with terms like “reviews” or “opinions” on a search engine. A scarcity of results or negative feedback can be an important warning sign.

3. Are the social media pages trustworthy?

If you come across sponsored posts on social media offering unusually attractive deals, take a closer look at who is promoting them. Accounts with few followers, recent creation dates, or no contact information are often signs of a fake or untrustworthy source.

4. Is it easy to find the seller’s legal information?

Before completing a purchase, make sure the site provides a VAT number, landline phone, physical address, and other business contacts. Missing information may indicate that the site does not want to be traceable. Tax details can be verified on the official website of the Revenue Agency.

5. Does the site have customer service?

If customer service is unresponsive or cannot be reached via email or phone, this is often a strong indicator that the site may be unreliable. Legitimate businesses usually provide multiple ways to contact them and respond promptly to inquiries. Difficulty reaching support—or receiving vague or delayed replies—can signal potential scams or poor service, putting your purchase and personal information at risk.

6. Are the payment terms clear?

Make sure the website clearly outlines accepted payment methods, detailed sales conditions, and return or refund policies. Transparent information in these areas is a sign of a trustworthy retailer, while vague or missing details may indicate potential risks. Understanding these policies before making a purchase can help you avoid scams, unexpected charges, or difficulties if you need to return a product.

7. Does the site use HTTPS??

From a cybersecurity standpoint, secure websites can be identified by the presence of SSL or TLS encryption, indicated by a closed padlock icon in the browser’s address bar and the “https://” prefix. These security measures ensure that any data you enter, such as personal information or payment details, is encrypted and protected from unauthorized access. Always look for these signs before submitting sensitive information online.
