Smart Ways to Shop Safely Online

Published: November 25, 2024

Don’t rely completely on price or customer ratings. Some scammers charge full price for fakes to deceive buyers and manage to accrue- or fake-positive customer ratings.
Don’t click on links in online solicitations. Look up the seller’s website online. Then make sure that the brand name is spelled correctly in the URL and there is a lock icon before it, indicating the site is secure for the credit card transactions.
Check for customer service contact information. Look at their return policy. If you are concerned, search the name of the unfamiliar third-party seller online with the word “scam” or “complaint” or “review” to see if there are problems reported.
Buy with a credit card. Don’t purchase from sellers who want payment by gift card, peer-to-peer apps or cryptocurrency. If there is a fraud charge, you can contact your credit card company to dispute it.
