How do I know if a website is Not a Scam?

[hollowsheet478]

I would say that it is indeed a legitimate online shopping site for the following reasons:

1. They have a toll-free number and a local area code 708 number... (verified personally)
2. They have online chat...
3. They have a "brick and mortar" presence in a mall...(address verified on USPS website)
4. They give their mailing and retail addresses...
5. The StellaService website: http://www.stellaservice.com/profile/hou...angel.com/ rates them as "Excellent" and lists them as being in business over 20 years...
6. They're on FaceBook: http://twitter.com/hourglassangel
7. Their shopping cart checkout is a secure site: HTTPS://www.hourglassangel.com/onestepcheckout/
