What CRACTT weighs
Payment method
Card and reputable checkouts carry chargeback rights. Wire, crypto, and peer-to-peer apps don't — that alone changes the answer.
Contact and company details
A real address, working support, and a findable business entity are the cheapest things to fake badly.
Pricing pattern
Deep discounts across an entire catalog are a scam signature, not a sale.
Policy and footprint
Return policy specifics, review patterns, and how long the domain and brand have existed.
