With a surge in online shopping sites, telling apart legit sites and scams can be an uphill task. Thus, when Burstabout.net appeared on the list of most searched sites on ScamAdviser, I decided to take a look and bring you this in-depth analysis.
Burstabout.net is an online store that focuses on earrings, jewelry, accessories and so much more. Are they legit or are they a scam? Join us as we take a deep dive.
On the “Contact Us” page, they have listed Landbase Trading Co. Ltd as their company name. If you are a regular reader here you may have come across this name before as it's often used by scam websites.
Landbase Trading Co. Ltd is a suspected shell company and it's often used on scam sites to mask the identity of the real owners. As we uncovered in our recent article about ScamAdviser Coin, being registered in the UK is so easy that scammers can do it and dupe customers into believing that they are legit.
When I checked the customer reviews, I found that most people are critical of the website with customers complaining of getting the wrong products. On ScamAdviser, there are complaints that they were promised a refund but never got one and canceling orders is impossible.
I could not find other reviews about Burstabout.net on other websites such as Trustpilot or MyWOT.
On the “About Us” page, there is this statement; We are a passionate company that truly believes that fashion should be affordable.
However, a simple Google search revealed that the same content is found on many other websites such as Confidencek and Sowarmdoor. This suggests that Burstabout.net is likely part of a network of scam websites that reuse the same content over and over.
Overall, there is a high likelihood that Burstabout.net may be a scam. There are a lot of characteristics that overlap with Chinese scam sites. For starters, the site claims to be owned by Landbase Trading Company Ltd. which is also claimed by many dubious websites. This is a common move by many Chinese scammers who use companies registered in the UK to mask their identity of scammers.
The reviews are quite critical with customers complaining about not getting refunds. The content is similar to that of many other websites which could suggest they are part of a network of scam websites.
In conclusion, customers should exercise caution when shopping at Burstabout.net. There are many other legit online marketplaces where you can shop without the worry of not getting your products or refunds.
