Tips to avoid online shopping fraud during the festive season
With the festive shopping season kicking off in India, customers need to stay vigilant against counterfeit websites and apps that impersonate real brands. Always verify web addresses, and take a moment to check how quickly a site loads and functions before you buy anything. Be wary of apps that ask for permissions they do not need, such as access to your contacts, text messages, or payment information. Additionally, look out for red flags like bad grammar, typos, and strange product descriptions, as these are often signs of a scam.
