Hello SM,


I am just getting involved because I saw the word online shopping and I would like to write a blogpost about it. However, I would like to know more about it before I start drafting my blogpost.


'Les consommateurs mauriciens peuvent désormais bénéficier du service du géant mondial du commerce électronique, Amazon.'


I have purchased items from Amazon.uk and this amazon Mauritius website does not look Amazon enough to me. It looks more like a fake website. Why is the logo different? Why didn't Amazon mention it on it's website or on FB, Twitter? If it was a real Amazon Mauritius website, I would expect amazon.mu since there is amazon.fr , amazon.uk etc. Did defi make enough research on the website before writing about it? You can read the comments section of defi regarding that article. There are quite some questions and people seems to be skeptical about whether this is a fake website or a genuine one?


Now, the article mentioned that it is a reseller but the website does not look convincing enough to me.


'Amazon Mauritius est l'E-Boutique numéro 1 à offrir une livraison rapide et sûr vers l'île Maurice.'
Everyone offers number one service in Mauritius! Come on!


'Une diversitée de produits européen certifiés pour répondre à vos attentes.

Ce site a été crée afin de facillité l'achat sur internet. Nous garantissons des produits de qualité authentiques et originaux destinés pour la vente en France. Nous garantissons une livraison à votre domicile en moins de 15 jours ouvrés. Nous avons aussi plusieurs ambassadeurs de notre site sur tout le territoire mauricien où vous pouvez regler vos achats en espèces.

Il y a un article ou un produit que vous n'arrivez pas à trouver? C'est simple!! envoyez nous un mail via la rubrique de contact avec les details!! On va vous le trouver!

Choisissez, cliquez, achetez = livraison enclenchée.'


I can't find any additional information on the website. How do you expect me to shop if I can't even read more about the conditions.


How do you expect me to shop online without seeing an https:// next to the domain name in the address bar? Isn't that supposed to be important?



Kind regards,

Shelly

Thank you, Ajay. I did the same.
