What Is An Online Shopping Scam?

a online shopping scam is when scammers use the anonymous nature of the internet to rip off unsuspecting shoppers.

What Are Some Warning Signs?

• A product is advertised at an unbelievably low price.
• Payment by electronic funds transfer or a wire service.
• An online retailer does not provide adequate information about privacy, terms and conditions of use.

How Can You Avoid Being Scammed?

• Check if the website or social media page has a refund or returns policy, and that their policies sound fair.
• When using retail websites, find out exactly who you are dealing with.
• Avoid any arrangement with a stranger that asks for up-front payment via money order, wire transfer, international funds transfer, pre-loaded card or electronic currency.
