How to Know If a Website Is a Scam


For those of you out there who are quite apprehensive about selling something or buying
something through the Internet because of scam threats, I am with you during these very
tough decisions. While it seems like it’s a bit too much to say that selling something online
feels like putting one of your feet in a black hole, it did feel like that for me when I tried to
sell iPhone on CashforiPhones.com. At first I felt like it was a very big risk for me, especially
since I loved my iPhone so dearly but I had to let it go eventually. The process seemed a bit
risky when I tried the website’s quotation calculator and after reading bad Cash for iPhone
review blogs and threads, I got scared that I might get scammed. This is why I immediately
tried finding out if the website was legitimate.
I did what everyone probably does when they are checking out a site; I tried to see if it had
contact numbers and addresses. Well the site seemed to anticipate Cash for iPhone scam
accusations because they had the address and toll free numbers on top of the page where
everyone could see them immediately. I tried calling the numbers and they would ring and I
also tried checking if the address was a real address in Nevada and it did show up in the
directories. I also tried checking out their other websites. It turns out that not only can you
sell iPhone units to them you can also sell them laptops, BlackBerrys, any kind of
smartphones and even tablet PCs. I also tried clicking on their trust logos like VerSign and
TRUSTe and found out that it all works. I also tried checking out the graphics for
watermarks to prove that the pictures were all legal and original.
The main process of selling a gadget is actually a bit shady because it seemed too short for
a website like that as compared to other website like Gazelle or NextWorth. And while it is
definitely easy to use, it made me more nervous so I also tried researching to Cash for
iPhones scam issues. There were tons of comments about this website, both good and bad
which made it harder to decide whether or not to push through with my little selling
experiment.
Finally, I realized that there was no other way to find out if it was a legit business but to sell
iPhone and wait for feedback. Within days of registering for the quote they provided me, I
received a box with a free UPS shipping label where I packed my iPhone carefully. I went to
a UPS store and prayed that I would get my money for selling my iPhone. A week passed
and nothing happened. I was so scared I that lost my iPhone over a Cash for iPhone scam
that I decided to email and call them. Fortunately a girl named Gail answered to tell me that
the UPS shipment got delayed which was why it took longer for them to receive my iPhone.
About four days after the call, I received my money through my PayPal and was able to get
the cash in two days! Since then, I never tried any other site for selling my gadgets! So to
those who say that Cashforiphones.com is a scam, I say you’ll never know until you try it!
