Check Facebook.com trusworthiness on WOT (Web of Trust):

Web of Trust is a web service used by millions of Internet users to rank the safety of websites.
I would personally not trust a website that has a low trustworthiness on WOT.

Check if Facebook.com is classified as malware on Safe Browsing:
This site is not currently listed as suspicious.
Google Safe Browsing is a service created by Google Inc. to identify malicious websites.
If the site is detected by Safe Browsing I would personally not visit it.
Check Facebook.com through multiple third-party security services.
This should help you to better identify scam, phishing and malware websites.
If the site is detected by at least one engine it may be a threat.
Check Facebook.com domain with our database of "scam" words:
No suspicious words found in the domain name.
A legit shopping website should not use a branded name (i.e. rayban) in the domain name.
Only the original manufacturer (i.e. RayBan) should use its brand name in the domain name.
This option should help identify potentially fake online shopping sites.
Check if Facebook.com uses a valid HTTPS secure connection:
This site uses an HTTPS secure connection.
| Issued From | DigiCert Inc |
| Valid To | January 25, 2018, 7:00 am |
An HTTPS secure (encrypted) connection is recommended for online shops and e-commerce websites.
So when you submit sensitive information they are securely transmitted over HTTPS.
I would never enter my credit card details in a non-HTTPS website.
Check if Facebook.com is popular among Internet users:
This site has a very good online popularity.
Facebook.com is ranked #3 among millions of websites according to Alexa rank.
An Alexa rank higher than 0 and less than 500,000 means the site has a good amount of traffic.
The more Alexa rank is low (but > 0) the more the website is popular.
Check when Facebook.com domain name was first registered:
The domain name was registered 21 years ago.
A domain created less than 3 months ago is considered new and thus potentially suspicious.
We may not have enough details to judge a website created only a few months ago.
Pay attention if you plan to buy goods from a "young" e-commerce website.

Before buy something from a new site:
- 1) Check if the site has a "contact us" web page

- 4) Check if the site has an "about us" or "company" web page
- 5) Check if the site has a valid VAT or Partita IVA number (EU only)
- 6) Don't be fooled by low prices, if it looks too good to be true, pay attention
- 7) Check if the site has a social profile (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram)
- 8) Try to always first contact the website owner via email
- 9) Analyze the domain WHOIS data to find info about the site owner
