Safe Online Deals and Discounts
Safe online deals and discounts refer to verifying the authenticity of promotions to avoid scams or fraudulent offers when shopping online.
- Financial fraud: Fake deals can steal payment details or charge hidden fees.
- Data theft: Entering details on scam websites can expose personal information.
- Counterfeit goods: Unrealistic discounts may indicate fake or poor-quality products.
- Phishing attacks: Clicking on “too good to be true” ads can lead to malicious websites.
Example: A user clicked on a fake Black Friday deal, which redirected them to a phishing site that stole their credit card details.
- Verify the authenticity of deals by visiting the retailer’s official website.
- Be cautious of promotions that demand urgent action or upfront payments.
- Check reviews of sellers and products before purchasing.
- Avoid clicking on unsolicited ads or email links for discounts.
- Use trusted coupon or deal websites instead of unknown platforms.
