HOW TO SNIFF OUT SCAMMERS!

This is interesting can you identify one just by looking at their web address?

Yes, avoid webhosting which are FREE such as geocities, yahoo, etc...One reason scammers had their website hosted with FREE webhosting are for their convenience, and also need not revealed their info. WHOIS directory does not capture any of their information. Unlike a registered domain with webhosting, its required that these info be feeded.

Here's one SCAMMERS http://www.geocities.com/realdiplomaprinters2/order.htm
Would you buy from someone who couldnt even afford to have a webhosting besides using the FREEBIES?

STAY AWAY RED ALERT SCAMMERS!!!!!

FIVE REASONS WHY SCAMMERS DO NOT ACCEPT PAYPAL OR CREDIT CARD LAME EXCUSES!

Five Reasons Why We Do Not Accept Credit Cards or Paypal...
  • We Like To Review Customer Orders Before Accepting Payments
    The first and foremost reason why we do not offer an online "shopping kart" or online payments is because we simply like to review each order before accepting payment and committing to producing the order. It can be quite time consuming to refund an online credit card order that has already been processed, so we have made it a habit of reviewing customer orders before providing payment instructions. Quite often, we receive orders that conflict with our policies, morals, or are simply illegal. If a customer places an order and pays for an item on our website that could be considered illegal, technically, we have sold that item. Various government agencies could then have the right to shut us down and press charges before we ever have the chance to refund that order. For example, we sometimes receive orders from countries we do not ship to, such as Iraq, Iran, Afganistan, or Pakistan. Although the majority of our products are simply novelty items and you must agree when ordering not to use our products for purposes such as obtaining employment, our products can be incredibly realistic and we just don't want to leave some things to chance.
This is sheer BS, why should you review customers? I thought it goes the other way round. Conflict with policies, morals? (Do you have any?) or are simply illegal? Ya bla...bla...bla..
  • Secure Online Payment Transactions
    Making online credit card transactions truly secure can be an difficult and expensive process. It also puts a significant responsibility on the merchant and how and where they store their records. There are in fact other "fake diploma" websites that appear to have secure online credit card processing, but in reality, their websites are anything but. On some "fake diploma" websites, just about anybody with the proper motivation can view all the information you submit to them. This doesn't include the site owner(s) and employees which have also sometimes been know to not be the most honest people. DiplomaXpress.com would rather leave it to the professionals. Making your payment in person at a Western Union or MoneyGram location or submitting your payment through their respective web sites is one of the most secure ways to transfer funds. DiplomaXpress.com or its employees will never ask you for any credit card information.
This is supposed to be the most unsecured way to pay by Western Union and Moneygram. See how they talk you into it. Legitimate business would accept paypal or Credit card whats so difficult ? Expensive? If you cant bear the charges you shouldnt be in business. Now enlighten us about secure online credit card processing huh! Its not safe huh? Any moron would know that nowadays credit card merchant have security features like VERISAVE, etc SSL Encripted to protect credit card info. So if there is any charges which you had not authorized you may ask for a charge back.

Whats the issue about this?
  • International Payment Issues
    DiplomaXpress.com receives orders from countries all over the world. Unfortunately, many merchant account providers (the banks that process credit card transactions) and online payment services such as Paypal, simply will not process transactions if the card holder lives outside the U.S., Canada, or the U.K.
This is sheer BS, Paypal had a list of approved countries which they can process their payment. If you hold a credit card outside the US, Canada or the UK they will be gladly process it. Another lame excuse.

  • Credit Card Fraud
    Credit card fraud seems to be more of an issue for our specific type of business than many other types of online stores, web sites, and businesses. For one example, we have found that often times teenagers or young adults will use their parent's credit card to place an order with us and when the parents receive the credit card bill, they call their credit card company and complain, which often leads to the charges being refunded. Considering the time, effort, and expense it takes to produce and ship our products, we simply can't afford to loose money in this manner.
Look who's the fraud here! See they are afraid of getting chargeback if they dont deliver. Credit card company or Paypal require a proof of shipping in case of dispute by providing an Airwaybill number. So if they dont ship file a complaint.
  • "Merchant Account" Providers
    Even though what we do is legal, a lot of credit card processors or "merchant account providers" and online payment services such as Paypal refuse to accept credit card transactions for our type of business because they categorize us as "high-risk". Additionally, many banks that do offer "high-risk" merchant accounts charge very high rates on credit card transactions and have additionally been known to disappear while owing merchants, such as ourselves, thousands, hundreds of thousands, and in some cases, millions of dollars. Some other "fake diploma" web sites that do accept credit cards generally lie to the credit card processors about the types of products they sell and therefore are constantly having their accounts either frozen or in risk of being frozen. This adds to the risk that if you purchase from these merchants and their account(s) are frozen, you may not end up receiving what you paid for.
What high risk? You are offering Novelty diploma dont you? A service oriented industry Paypal or Merchant accounts would approved. Unless youre a scam website then the story is different.

See how pathetic these excuse are!

The above is excerpt from DiplomaXpress.com stay away from them they are another SCAMMER.

fakediplomasite.com IS ANOTHER SCAM

This is another website owned by scammers, http://www.fakediplomasite.com/

Stay away from them. Just look at the diploma samples and transcript do they bear a resemblance to another scam website ? Seems familiar the write up on the website?

They probably set up numerous websites to scam people. Each promoting their products in review websites.

BEWARE!

The Irony of Faked Diploma Review website!

Its a tussle of war between these scammers each and everyone of them seems to degrade and critisize one another. May they rot in HELL!

Here's a few website that you must beware, NEVER TRUST THEIR REVIEW VERY BIASED

The fake sites

diploma-review .com and fakediploma-review .com
The basic intention of both these sites is to promote their own sites which are DiplomaProfessionals .com and DiplomasUnlimited .com which of course have an unnaturally high ranking in the fake diploma review site compared to others. Other sites that get a good rank are sites which have closed down as naturally there is no threat to these guys from them. What we did to confirm our suspicions is to create about 10 or so yahoo and hotmail ids and contacted these sites in the guise of a potential customer who is interested in purchasing a fake diploma and wouldn’t you believe it we always got a reply promptly stating that you should purchase from DiplomaProfessionals .com or DiplomasUnlimited .com if you are at all interesting in purchasing a fake diploma. And we then queried if any of the other sites were any good but the answer was always that the purchase should be made from one of their own sites.

fakediploma-review .org
This site and its .com equivalent seems to be own by 2 different fake diploma sites and hence these two fake diploma review sites seem to be at each others throats claiming that one has copied from the other . In any case as with the earlier site any recommendations given will be for PhoneyDiploma .com its many other partner site such as Replicadiploma .com

underground-review .com
At first glance this fake diploma review site seems to not be owned by any fake diploma site but we soon changed this opinion as they suddenly changed their review of recommending backalleypress .com to a new positive recommendation of Fakediplomasite .com which is basically run by the same company and is just a duplicate of the earlier site. So you can make your own mind on that and they have even setup another site noveltyidsite .com to give the same recommendation.

Drop me an email if you find any new website on such review,

Warmest regards,

nd-center.com is a SCAM

Beware www.nd-center.com is another SCAM website that will take your hard earned money and not deliver. I get to know some guys on chat room that had been duped into paying them.

Here's a email they send me:

Dear Sir,
I recently sent this nd-center $400 for a diploma and transcript.
They acknowledged receipt of the payment but when I e-mail them to
ask about progress, they ignore me. It is now almost a month since
they received my payment.
Do you have any idea as to whether these people are just rip off artists?
I'd really appreciate your comments.
Many thanks,
Jay

They accept Western Union as the only mode of payment, its unsafe and risky paying them most scammers can pick up the money easily. Beware if anyone suggest wire transfer, cash or western union, forget about it !

Worst of all www.nd-center.com was reviewed by http://www.fakediploma-review.com/
Do not trust any review written here as they actually owned the website, they are trying to give very good review. So look up the list see who's the highest rated you'll probably know ITS A SCAM.

BEWARE do not send any money by CASH, WESTERN UNION and WIRE TRANSFER.
Insist on PAYPAL or CREDIT CARD only. Its the most secured mode of payment, scammers wouldnt risk having their account terminated or revealing the ID.
