Is jumias.com Legit?

jumias.com Review

The Scam Detector's VLDTR® finds jumias.com having a low authoritative rank of 26.20. This means that the business is tagged as Debatable. Contentious. Controversial.


Where do we start? There are a few valid reasons for this 26.20 mark we gave the above-mentioned site. It seems like the domain name is new as it was registered recently. While we support new businesses, a new domain name always makes it challenging for a brand new site to have an instant high trustworthy level, from launching the business, promoting the products, getting people to buy and try them (where is the case, of course), and then have time to leave reviews - all in a short time.


However, still giving the benefit of the doubt, our Scam Detector algorithm came up with the 26.20 rating adding in the mix 52 other relevant factors to its eCommerce niche. They range from Tranco rank, the quality of the customer service, IP address location, the technology used, social media feedback, and SSL certificate.


If you don't know what these terms listed above are, do not worry. We do the hard work in searching deep into the web, so you don't have to. We also partner with well-known online analytical platforms to detect the inter web connections of every website. For example, you saw the Details module above, featuring Domain Creation Date, Website popularity, Domain blacklist status, HTTPS connection, Proximity to suspicious websites, Threat profile, Phishing profile, malware score and Spam score.

While the first four are somehow self-explanatory, let us get into the last five. “Proximity to suspicious websites” means that, through either its servers, IP address or other online connections, jumias.com has a relation - on a range from 1 to 100 - to sites that have been flagged as suspicious. The higher the number is, the higher the proximity to these dodgy websites is. Sometimes, the owners of the websites don’t even know that their site is in the close vicinity of dubious ones, as both may be hosted on a platform that is not super safe. However, if the proximity to suspicious website score is very high (for example over 80) you can rest assured that the website is definitely risky.

At the same time, the scores listed under the Threat profile, Phishing profile, Malware and Spam are exactly what the words describe. These scores are determined by the levels of risk that are found inside the actual site and its activity. While numbers up to 30 on these scores are not extremely dangerous, everything over that limit could be considered a red flag.

Additional Info For You To Consider

The jumias.com website received a low rank here, but that 26.20 score could definitely change in time. Its eCommerce niche is important, so we are waiting to see if the activity will worsen or improve. However, we're looking to get all the validations done as close to perfection as possible. This way, you can protect yourself from financial fraud. Feel free to share your thoughts below, in the Comments section.


This review and rank of jumias.com are created confidently based on the powerful factors we have on hand, but attention to detail and common sense are required.


Meanwhile, if you are the site owner, read below.

Are You The Owner Of This Domain Name?

If you are the owner of jumias.com, we would love to hear from you. Please send us a message to info at scam-detector dot com. If you would like to challenge this review and your site's rating here, we are more than willing to take a deeper look. However, be prepared to offer us solid proof of your business. That means, please introduce yourself first and be transparent. Consumers are smart. They don't trust websites that don't show transparency, such as the location of the business, team, or any other physical existence.

Typically, when domain owners contact us to challenge the review, we would kindly ask them to share the following details, for better consideration in changing the rating:
* Details from their ecosystem that would show that they are 100% trustworthy (certificate of incorporation, business registration, official records showing the name of the website or business, not other).
* Their personal profile on LinkedIn and social media accounts for the business on Facebook.
* If it's the case, some screenshots/proof of satisfied clients (not testimonials on their website), proof of inventory, canceling orders when requested;

So, we would be more than willing to update the review right away - the more proof you'll show, the higher the rank will be. Thank you.
