Bogus Payment Processor Website - www.billingcheckout.com

The website www.billingcheckout.com is a very suspicious one and I do not recommend entering your personal or credit card information on it. This website is located in China. The website seems to be a bogus payment processor and is used many bogus Chinese websites to process fraudulent credit card transactions.

What makes this website suspicious is that the domain name is only registered for 1 year.

Legitimate companies do not register their domain names for one year. One year is the minimum registration period for a domain name and scammers usually register domain names for this minimum period because they know their fraudulent schemes will be noticed and their websites taken down by then.

This website does not have a homepage. If you go to http://www.billingcheckout.com, a blank page comes up. There is absolutely no information on this website that tells you who they are and how to contact them.

Here are comments made by a few people who have had a bad experience with this website:

  • "www.billingcheckout.com is a fake payment processor used by Chinese scammers. If you have been directed to this site to make payment I would be very cautious in continuing."
  • "Bought a pair of trainers from hxxp://www.cheapnike2013.com/ and checkout which appeared to be secure on www.billingcheckout.com however later realized it was a scam after not getting confirmation details and researching into the websites."
  • "I was suspicious when it was asking for the issuers of the bankcard and no option for paypal."

I recommend that you do not use www.billingcheckout.com and shop online at popular websites. Avoid new websites until you are able to verify that they are trustworthy.

If you have already entered your credit card information on this website, please contact your bank or credit card company.
