Scamming - Fraud
The website: www.hotsale-styles.com, which goes by the name "Outlet Shop", is fraudulent online website claiming to sell watches, sunglasses, handbags, clothing, shoes and other accessories. Online users are advised to stay away from the fraudulent website, and those who have shopped from it, run the risk of their personal, credit card and other payment processing information getting stolen by cyber-criminals and used fraudulently. They also run the risk of receiving counterfeit goods, or poor quality goods that look nothing like what were advertised. Therefore, we do not recommend purchasing from the website: hotsale-styles.com.
The owner of the website is using a service to hide their identity via their website domain registration. And, the Trustwave and other website seals on hotsale-styles.com are fakes.
A Trustwave website seal confirms that a website has passed an extensive validation process, which proves that the website has a valid business. Visitors to a website can click on its Trustwave seal, which will bring to them to Trustwave's website, where their business can be verified. But, on hotsale-styles.com, the seal is not clickable, which means it is a fake, and placed on the website to trick visitors into believing the website has been verified as trustworthy by Trustwave.
The cybcercriminals behind the fake website will use another website and change the name, once the current website has been taken down. Therefore, only shop on popular and reputable websites.
