This is probably a dumb question but how can you tell if a website is legit? I want a Mulberry bag and have found a website that sells them incredibly cheap but I am not sure if it is a fake site. Can anyone offer me some guidance please
Oh here is the website:

I assume you you still allowed to post links?

It's probably two seperate questions Becks.
Is the website legit? Looks that way to me.
Are the products it sells legit? That's the real question.
Id have a google around ... Ie enter the website and then something like fake or legit and you should get your answer.

The fact they don't have a contact number and accept Western Union cash payments would make me a bit suspicious to be honest.Originally Posted by Beckinder
Also, the comapny seem to be based in China which means the likelihood that these are fakes are quite high and if you get caught it'll be impossible to get your cash back.

More than likely a dodgy site. First thing always is to look up the domain name on something like domaintools.com . Can tell quite a bit of information about the site, it's owners and where it's hosted. For example, the url you posted above is registered to:
Registrant: Mingfang Cheng
Registrant's address: No.568 nanjing Rd., Wuxi, Jiangsu, 240010, China
and the website is hosted on the cheapest of hosting servers.
From this info alone we could safely say this is a scam site. Why would a worldwide known and renowned company register as cheapo site with godaddy, host it in the US, register it from China and make it look like it's based in the UK. Steer Clear is my advice
Becks, the Mulberry factory and outlet shop is a few miles from here, we sometimes pop in and have a laugh at the "reduced" prices. I'd hazard a guess that the site you found is selling knock offs at best. Sorry. Let me know if you want anything from the shop though, they do a really nice afternoon tea!
haha.... munsterfans..... this thread is brill....

He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck either, but a real duck that was actually lame. Maybe from stepping on a land mine or something.
I'll have a large latte and a blueberry muffin, please.
This is the most helpful post.

The URL has been spammed on a few places before, probably adbotted which is usually associated with dodgy sites. Spammed along with a few other sites selling the same things so they're maybe all the same group of people even though they're registered to different people (one of them chinese)

The fact that the site you linked has some spelling errors and just general strangeness like not asking your browser to encrypt data sent from a payment page aren't good signs.
Thanks for all your advice, I had a feeling it was dodgy but hoped I was wrong. Looks like I wont be getting a Mulberry for christmas
