Is the Website www.crzplay.com a Scam?

The website www.crzplay.com, which claims that it allows you to play games, music, books, movies and software directly in your browser or download on your phone, computer and tablet, cannot be trusted. We do not recommend using it. We do not trust the website because the Verisign and other security seals on the website are fakes, so please do not enter your personal or credit card information on the website.

The website did not subscribe to the Norton VeriSign Trusted Seal services and is only trying to fool consumers/visitors by placing a stolen copy of the trustmark/seal on their website in order to give the appearance of "Trust" and "Security". This practice is called "Scraping."

The Website www.crzplay.com

The Fake Verisign and other Trusted Seals

Major Security and Trust seals icons commonly used by: BBB.org, McAfee, Thawte, TRUSTe, Trustwave, UpFront, VeriSign/Norton, and others, all have URLs or website addresses that are linked to those icons. So, when you click the icon, the relevant website certificate or verification page should appear with information about the website. But, on the website www.crzplay.com, nothing happens when you click on the icons.

Also, the website has a fake Facebook "like" button, which is used to trick visitors into believing that the website is liked by thousands on Facebook. The website is not even on Facebook.

Although the website has a secure connection or SSL, it should still not be trusted. If you have entered your credit card information on the malicious website, please contact your credit card company or bank.
