if i am buying any products, i first call them or mail them, and wait for there support section to reply, after that i will search google with that "program name + Scam or fraud". I always pays with credit card...

I do my usual due diligence exercise. I check the seller's past record. If I like the product or service I pay using my credit card or any payment processor with chargeback feature just a protection in case the transaction turns sour.

You could definitely follow the tips everyone contributed in this thread. If the seller provided a contact number, try calling them to find out more about the product you are interested in. Checking their reputation is a must, you should know how other buyers find them and their services.

i make it a point to buy products only from a reputed brand or a dealer and then i also make sure to make online payments over a secured server,

I use add-ons for my browser that can detect phishing and unauthentic sites, I also make sure that the seller or dealer that I'm dealing with has made large deals in the past and that they have a good reputation and feedback from their previous clients.

I use forums like this one, they are the best source, I think, because there are real people here saying what they think! It's a good place to get a lot of opinions!

I check following things before purchasing:

1. The payments are done through secured link.
2. Whether the seller has provided proper contact details.
3. Would search for reviews of the site on net.
4. I would prefer only credit card payments, so that i can easily go for chargeback in case of any issue.

Thanks,
