Is IKGifts.com a legit website?

[Usyrc,]

I'm looking at websites to buy a prom dress from & I found this one, ikgifts.com. They have the perfect dress that I want but I'm not sure if it's legit. Can someone let me know if it is? If you've used it can you give me a reviews? Thank you!

The domain name you gave is incorrect, it's an inactive "parked" site being used as an ad directory and not a store

The 3 basic tests you can make of an online store.

1) Check the domain name whois owner information, many of the Chinese counterfeit sites will be immediately exposed, (anything from China would be fakes.)

2) Test 2: check the Contact Us page, if there is no identifying phone# or address forget it, imagine how easily an email alone can be ignored.

3) Search the web for complaints, try Googling: "thesite.com" scam, to see if it's been submitted to fraud site registries, a site under 3 months old may not yet be included even it deserving..
