Fake websites are constantly increasing. Scammers create websites that are very similar to the original Brands. A first warning sign is the prices: too low and with mechanical discounts and promotions too beautiful to be true.
We recommend maximum caution when purchasing online, it is easy to find dozens of scam sites that promote their eCommerce even with Google ads and campaigns.

GENERAL GUIDELINES TO IDENTIFY SCAM SITES:
1. The price is too good to be true
If an advertisement tells you that the product you want is now 70% – 90% off, they are lying to you.
2. The site was advertising on Social Media
Decochic advertises on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok just like fake sites do. Again, look at the URL, offer, and content of the ad.
3. The site uses a nonsensical combination of letters
Fraudulent sites use a variety of URLs in an attempt to appear legitimate or confuse consumers by choosing words and letters that are close to the brand name.
4. Contact information is suspicious
Decochic stands for high level customer service. If you can't reach the person you are buying from, don't buy from them.
5. The site is relatively new
You can check how long a website has been around by entering it into archive.org.
If the site is new and offers deep discounts, don't buy anything from them.
6. Anti-fraud services
If you believe you have made a purchase from a fraudulent website, call your bank or financial institution, immediately cancel the payment, and block that payment method to prevent further fraudulent activity.
