These days, Black Friday sale is going on on almost every e-commerce platform. During this period, goods become very cheap and people do a lot of shopping. Seeing this, scammers also become active and they try to defraud people through fake websites or other means. Recently, more than 2,000 real looking fake websites have been detected, where people were being looted of money by luring them with sales. In such a situation, there is a need to be cautious while shopping online. Today we are going to tell you tips to stay safe while online shopping.

Shop only from trusted websites

For online shopping, always go to a trusted website only. Avoid shopping on any new or suspicious looking website due to the lure of links received in messages or attractive offers seen on social media.

Look for the lock icon in the URL

If you have doubts about any website, always check its URL carefully. There will be no spelling mistake in the URL of the original website and a lock icon will also be visible in it. The lock icon means that the site has Secure Sockets Layer encryption, making your data more secure than an unencrypted site.

Do not shop with debit card

Use only mobile payment app or credit card for online shopping. Never shop with debit card. If the debit card gets compromised then cyber criminals will get all the details of your bank account, due to which you will have to suffer huge loss.

Don’t shop on public Wi-Fi

If you are at a cafe, railway station or airport and using public Wi-Fi, then avoid online shopping. The reason for this is that public Wi-Fi has less security and the transactions done through it can be hacked. Therefore, always shop through a secured connection.
