Relying on a UL logo isn't much protection as you must trust that the company is being honest in using it. Best bet is to rely on a company's reputation, which may not result in you getting a quality product, but it should be safe at the very least.
UL listing is more than just a logo on the product. They run a public database where anyone can verify the certification.
