Since last month, major e-commerce and online shopping platforms have successively launched promotions related to the "618 Mid-Year Shopping Festival". Have you already emptied your shopping cart (laughs)? However, fraudulent groups also took advantage of the opportunity to try to sneak into this wave of 618 shopping festival business opportunities. Various online shopping scams are hard to guard against. What can you do to avoid online shopping scams?

Online shopping is very convenient, and it is even more joyful when it comes to the Mid-Year Shopping Festival, but every day I click on the news and see that someone is being scammed by online shopping. For wrapped articles, see:

Have you ever bought a one-page online shopping and have always been the target of fraud? !

Did you receive the text message "Estimated delivery. Please confirm the address" "The package has been dispatched. Please check it in time"?

If you want to make a big purchase before the end of the 618 shopping festival, come and review some key points of safe shopping!

Buy 618 with peace of mind 1. Choose a reputable online shopping/e-commerce platform

Many well-known e-commerce companies such as momo shopping.com, Shopee Shopping, Yahoo Chimo Shopping Center, and Living Market have a lot of 618 shopping festival discounts. The advantage of choosing a well-known platform is that it is more secure in case of consumer disputes. .

Buy 618 with confidence

When swiping social media like Facebook and Instagram, you're often drawn to unbelievably cheap ads. But these are most likely the notorious "one-page shopping sites"!

Fraud prevention experts have written about the characteristics of one-page websites before, please refer to:

5 common characteristics of one-page scam shopping sites

The editor here again sorts out some of the most obvious features of one-page scams:

❌The price of commodities is unreasonably low, no matter how discounted it is, 10% off 20% off is too exaggerated...

❌There are many positive reviews, but they are all fake. Some fake reviews will pretend to be Facebook's plug-in message program, but they can't actually be clicked!

❌ "Offer Countdown" "Only 1 set left in stock"
In order to let consumers place orders as soon as possible, one-page websites will use these words to urge consumers to lose their judgment in a hurry.

Buy 618 with peace of mind

In previous years, there have been many cases. After the 618 shopping festival ended, criminals obtained the contact information of victims from illegal channels and began to contact consumers for various reasons, such as:
📞 Falsely claiming that there is a problem with the product purchased online before, so you need to apply for a refund 📞 Claiming that the parcel arrived late due to logistics problems, and you need to compensate the consumer for the loss

At this time, if the consumer is deceived, the other party may send an unknown link, claiming that there is information to be filled in, but in fact it is defrauding the bank account password and stealing the money in the account; this link may also be a phishing link, endangering consumption personal information security.

⚠️Remind the public:
If you receive a call from any self-proclaimed shopping platform, you must first confirm the authenticity of the information with the platform officials, and do not rashly click on the link sent by the other party!

What should I do if I am unfortunate enough to encounter an online shopping scam?

When shopping online, you can pass the shopping URL to the fraud prevention expert for identification and query at any time!


But if you really receive a fake or get scammed, you can refer to the following articles and try to get a refund:

To put it simply, do not accept packages from unknown origins. Remember to videotape the package when you unpack it. If there is any problem, contact the shipping company immediately and report to the police!

Happy shopping on the 618 Shopping Festival. As long as you avoid the above-mentioned online shopping fraud traps, you can still enjoy shopping. If you encounter any suspicious information or suspected fraudulent shopping sites, you must also pass it to the fraud prevention expert for identification!
