FTD Merchant - How To Pick A Reliable Florist

By Jane Davies


Sometimes, we come across FTD florist online sites that profess to be genuine. But quite often, such websites that sell and deliver flowers turn out to be absolute scams.

These sites are so clever that you unwittingly place your order of flower delivery with them after giving them not just the recipient's address, but your own credit card details too for the sake of payment.

It is only later that you apprehend that you have been duped and that your money is lost. Moreover, you have also given your credit card details to an online scammer!

What can be done in such a situation? Well, the first action from your part should be to notify the credit card company as soon as possible and to block that payment so that further damages are averted.

The other thing you must take care of is not to repeat the same mistake while selecting an FTD florist online.

Do keep in mind the following three tips to safeguard your interests:

* There are no shortcuts to research. The only way to protect yourself from scammers is to do a study on such sites by searching on forums and internet sites which provide information about fraudulent florist sites which are to be avoided. This will allow you to weed out the bad ones so you only deal with genuine FTD Florist sites.

* Have as many options as you can. Don't fall for the first FTD florist. Scammers are almost always tech-savvies. They will naturally employ techniques to make them come up in the first page of your search results, to increase their chances of duping more people.

* Find out from friends about genuine sites from which they may have brought flowers from. Most of them readily recommend sites from which they may have purchased from. Do place your orders with such reputed sites because then the risk element is totally down.

Do follow these tips if you want to avoid being duped by an FTD florist online scam site. This way, you can ensure a pleasant experience too.
