The websites that I visited and tested with the link were Shein and Romwe which are very
similar websites. The reason I chose these two websites is because people suspected that
these websites could be fraudulent or that they could be scams. Upon checking both websites
they both came back as low security risk. I honestly did not expect these results given that so
many people on social media have doubts about these websites. These results were such a
relief because my family members and I shop on these websites. I do think people should feel
safe with their information being used on these websites given that they are both considered low
security risk.
