Nov 27, 2023

Stay sharp and safe as you dive into the fantastic deals this Cyber Monday. Avoid scams with a few simple tips:

  • Only Use Secure Websites: Always check for 'https://' in the URL and a padlock icon.
     
  • Do Your Research: Did you find an unbelievable deal? A deal that seems too good to be true probably is. Check the seller's or website's reviews and credibility.
     
  • Watch Out for Phishing Emails: Scammers love sending fake emails with exclusive deals. Make sure you only click on links from sources that are known. Go directly to the official website instead.
     
  • Pay Securely: Use credit cards or payment services like PayPal for better fraud protection.
     
  • Beware of Fake Apps: Only download shopping apps from official mobile app stores and check their reviews.
     
  • Check Return Policies: Ensure the shopping site has a clear return policy. The return policy of scammers is often nonexistent.

It's always a good idea to step back if you're uncertain about a deal. Stay safe and happy shopping!
