If you haven’t shopped from a merchant before, check beforehand to make sure they’re legitimate. For example, learn more about their business history and do a web search for reviews from other buyers with experience with the seller. Legitimate merchants should provide you with contact information that you can reference if you have any questions or problems with your transaction, which may include a physical address, contact phone number, or email address. Many sites selling counterfeit products will have official sounding URLs, which might include phrases like [brand]onsale.com or official [brand].com. Checking the site’s WhoIs record is one way that might reveal who owns the domain.
