Written by

From fake websites to counterfeit goods, online shopping has its risks. Shop safely with these tips.

E-commerce fraud involves fake online stores or sellers who take your money but never deliver the product.

Tips for Safe Shopping

- Check the URL: Look for 'https' and the padlock icon.
- Research the Seller: legitimate sites have reviews and a physical address.
- Avoid 'Too Good to Be True' Deals: If an iPhone is selling for 80% off, it's a scam.
- Pay by Credit Card: Credit cards offer better fraud protection than debit cards or UPI.
