Online shopping has become second nature, but vigilance is key. Here's how to stay safe:
- HTTPS website: Ensure the site's URL starts with 'https://'. The 's' stands for 'secure'.
- Beware of offers that are too good to be true: Extreme discounts on popular products are often a sign of a fraudulent site.
- Use secure payment methods: Prefer credit cards (which offer better fraud protection) or services like PayPal.
- Create strong, unique passwords: Don't use the same password for multiple e-commerce sites.
- Read reviews: Before buying from an unknown site, look for reviews on independent platforms.
TrustAI Shield can analyze the URL of shopping sites for signs of a scam before you even pull out your credit card.
