Important information

  • Additional Info:

    On July 13, 2023, BBB attempted to send correspondence to [email protected]. However we
    did not receive any form of response. If you have information that would assist
    your BBB in developing a report, please speak with a BBB Marketplace
    Counsellor.

    BBB Serving the Atlantic Provinces has concluded an
    Investigation into the status of Online Fish Store/Fish Online Store/247 Fish
    Online
    . The Investigation was prompted by several phone inquiries and one formal
    report to BBB Scam Tracker against Online Fish Store/Fish Online Store/247 Fish
    Online
    .  After multiple attempts to
    contact this business via email & via phone, we were unable to contact the
    business. The business has an address listed on their website that a separate business
    is located. BBB has confirmed this business has no affiliation with the
    business of the address they have listed. Online Fish Store/Fish Online
    Store/247 Fish Online
    is reported for taking orders for live fish on their
    website, consumers report they are asked to pay via cash app. When it is paid,
    they then ask for an additional payment to cover delivery fees. The consumers
    report the fish do not arrive in the mail. The phone number the business has listed on their website is not in service, and also is listed for multiple other business websites.


    Tips to spot this scam:

    Watch out for the 'Too Good To Be True' Scam
    If you’re shopping online and find that one specific item
    for a price that seems too good to be true, chances are it’s scam. Online
    scammers pick popular items and list them at discount prices to lure in
    customers. A customer thinks they’re getting a deal, when really they are
    providing someone with their payment information. Always check the website URL
    for misspellings and look for secure checkouts when finalizing your purchase.

    Consider using a credit card instead of a debit card
    Credit cards provide increased security for online shopping
    compared to debit cards. Today’s EMV Chip technology in payment cards makes
    them harder for scammers to steal your information. Plus, credit cards aren’t
    tied directly to your bank accounts like a debit card. If someone stole your
    debit card information, they have an easier way to quickly access your bank
    accounts, since the money in your account is tied directly to your debit card.
    Credit cards can offer more consumer protection through fraud protection.


    Check out as a guest when possible
    Most online checkouts will ask you to sign up for an account
    or allow you to check out as a guest. When you create an account, the website
    can store your personal and purchase information on the websites’ internal
    server. While not common, if that company experiences a data breach, then your
    saved information could be at risk. Checking out as a guest eliminates this
    possibility because the retailer does not permanently save your information. If
    reward points and perks are important to you, then consider the risks of creating
    an account with the online retailer.


    Research new and sketchy websites
    Let’s say you find that perfect gift online but it’s on a
    website in which you’ve never purchased anything. It’s always best to research
    the website before making a final purchase. Today’s scammers create mock
    websites that are almost identical to online retailer websites, all with the
    intent to confuse you and steal your information. Always check the website URL
    to make sure it’s not misspelled. Also, a good rule of thumb is to do a quick
    online search. If other customers have fallen for online traps, then chances
    are likely someone wrote a review online about their experience. A little
    research could potentially save you money and heartache.


    Don't use the same password for every account
    Do not use the same password for every online account. Once
    an online scammer figures out one password, then it’s easy for them to turn
    around and try it on all of your accounts. If you had one password for every
    account then you just gave the scammer free access to all of your information.
    Using different passwords prevents you from falling victim to these practices.
