Do you want to buy meditation chair or self-inflating queen size bed from Zymart.co? Beware! It’s a scam. The low prices offered is a bait to lure buyers to an online shopping scam. Examining the website we spotted the following red flags;
- Recently created – Who.is (a website checker tool) show dignlike.com was launched on 26th May 2024 by an anonymous person who kept his information redacted for privacy.
- Fake Business Address – Zymart.co lists its physical address as 8011 Rainbow Canyon Rd #C, 29 Palms, California(CA), 9227 but it is the address of a park, there’s no building in site.
- Negative Reviews– On TrustPilot.com, Zymart.co has been rated a poor 1 star. The reviewers affirm they received unauthorized charges from the store.
This is absolutely a scam. DO NOT give them your personal information. I am currently disputing $800 in unauthorized charges.

How To Protect Yourself From Online Shopping Scams
- Check how long the website has been functioning – The domain age of a website tells a lot about a store’s legitimacy or transparency. Websites below 6 months old are often considered unsafe. You can find out a website’s age by checking on Who.is ( a free domain checker tool)
- When using retail websites, find out exactly who you are dealing with. Research the retailer address by copying and pasting it on your browser. Does it really exist? is the retailer registered in the address or is the address that of a family home?
- When making online payments, use secure payment service. Look for a URL starting with “https” and a closed padlock symbol, or a payment provider such as PayPal. If the padlock symbol doesn’t appear near the website’s URL, then it means your personal and financial information is at risk at the store.
- Avoid Too Good to be true Discounts – any product sold at very cheap prices compared to other online stores should be treated with caution. Low prices are baits scammers use to lure unsuspecting victims
