Could anybody find out if this website is legit? - dawn - 04-08-2014 07:21 PM
i ordered trainers off this website last week and the order is still pending. I sent them an email and the reply back had spelling mistakes and did not seem legit any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
This is the website below

Fairly new website, so might be having teething problems.
http://www.nominet.org.uk/whois/lookup?query=www.shopairmax2013.co.uk
and too new to have any URL metrics.

personally I think its a scam site and would not touch it with a barge pole
There are no contact details, no address, no phone number, nothing (which are all legally required on a legit UK site
and one strong indication - their english and spelling aint good. Most likely its actually a foreigh based scam who have created a web site with a UK id)
They only accept paypal for small orders but for larger orders require western union or moneygram
BOTH of these will pay out cash as soon as they receive your authorisation
Neither require the receiver to have an account - so once they have the money they can disappear
And scammers frequently want money for purchases sent to these companies
Since you have already paid money (I assume) then I would say goodbye to it
(I would also notify your card issuer that you think you have been scammed and would like another card issued - just in case they try to take more money from ccard account)
(A suggestion
send them an email via their contact page (generate a temp e-mail address on Yahoo - or I use mailexpire for temp e-mail addresses -
Ask any question you like
See how long it takes for them to anser
THEN - look at the email header to find out where it REALLY comes from)

Chinese site! You'll be lucky to see your trainers or money again.

The 1st clue is in the name "2013"
The 2nd clue is the site owners sur name is the same as the name of the road its registered to
The 3rd clue is the .co.uk site resembles the .com site too much.
The 4th clue is the prices are too cheap
The 5th clue is the .com site is owned by a company in China
