Beware of this new online shopping scam | Social Media Fraud

How do people lose their money in online shopping? 

Today we are talking about social media shopping, but do it carefully because these days shopping and online shopping has gone a step ahead. Till now you go to any website or go to any online portal which is only made for shopping and do shopping from there. But now that your social media platform is ready, you are using Facebook,  Instagram, or all other platforms where you now also see many advertisements. 

The things you search about which you see are your database there and things of your choice will come in front of you, this is where the game starts. Many advertisers out there are German because they know that there is a lot of traffic on social media these days, so they do target you easily. But taking advantage of this, many such companies have come, in which some would have come under the category of fraud.

For example, They sell their products but are not of good quality level, their infrastructure is not so good that they can sell you things online and take them back if there is a mess. if you received the wrong product or bad quality product and you want to complain or the product then nobody will hear your complaint if anything or refund the amount if anything. If you want to do it, all these things do not happen, even quality goods do not come many times.

Some are just direct scams, so when you have gone to social media shopping, then here how will you judge yourself whether the goods you are buying on the platform are right or not, whether there is a way to cheat you there. If no one has come for this or just to scam you straight away. You have to take care of all these things and this is also very important because this is a new trend and this type of shopping will increase further in the future.

Some of you must have experienced this because we get such complaints a lot. In everyday life, when you talk around, your friends also tell such things to your acquaintances or they have had to face this kind of problem somewhere or the other. There are many big and promising people from social media platforms these days, don't think that you are doing anything wrong, either the product will be wrong, or the price will be wrong. Sometimes it happens that the price would be like this, do you think it is a very good deal.

I said in the beginning that everything is not wrong, there you also find some very good things which you do not get to see every day, but sometimes you also become a victim of scams here. Such online scams have started happening a lot in India also. What would you say, such things have become common on social media, where the only purpose is that they cheat you in a way.

When we have the freedom of online shopping also comes the time of computer, while computer comes after that, then we talk about cyber security,   what is the trend that you have to open the portal? Such a product is shown that of the very short downloading time or very neatly is shown.

How can we avoid shopping from social sites?

If you have been a victim of such a website or there is a possibility of further untoward happening, then what should you do about it. First of all, if you have faced something like this, then it is different that people around you must talk to them, tell them that this incident has happened to you so that they can be aware. And the most important thing here is that people are saved.

If your petty scam also happens, so don't leave it casually. In your own house, even in your neighborhood around me, you must have seen that someone ordered online. Any saree or some other items and what would have happened is that the 700-800 was ignored about it, just from there the courage and gain of scam starts and it encourages that they attract the peoples on social media for fraud.

Let's say the thing that you are conscious for unknown brand or non-company or not. The biggest thing in this is that if you are getting a deal, then first you cross-check the deal. You believe that the price which is trending may go up and down a bit. But absolutely they cannot offer you even after going down too much, then for this, you should do two or three things that if you are getting a deal you check go to their website. 

How old is their website, the website is their SSL(secure sockets layer) or not? All these things have to be done that you can avoid these things. Now you will see that in the trend that has gone on if you have searched for a lot of ads on social media, you will see many shopping sites ads shows related to it. This is called targeted art. We have many shopping sites, which provides a good quality product and listen to your complaint also. 

But this trend which has become now it needs to be avoided. And for this, you need to check at least for half an hour that if the trusted brand is not trusted then you do not go with it because they have come in the market for cheating you then you need to avoid it. As we said the scam is a different thing but many times such things happen inside this is not a quality site that you don't have that many proper resources. They just fixed the route. 

You didn't know when you have buy from Amazon or  Flipkart. But first of all, it is important to know that most of these fraud advisors show you their site after 10 o'clock because that is the time when a person cannot think much mentally, his mind remains tight. So if you see someone in such a routine after 10 o’clock that is the first time you have heard the name of a company. And the second thing is that if you go by clicking on that link and you see that there are not many reviews and you get a deal.

Be careful shopping on unprofessional sites:

So the first thing is to see whether some of these websites are HTTPS://,if not then it is not a secure website and then secondly, at what time your results are being shown and what is the criteria. what is the meaning of some reviews on that particular website, which you see every day? Can check and there is a cyber policy on it or not, which is always reached to the payment. Does it remain in the hands of any advertisers who will show you at what time? 

Yes, when you visit it, they have set a time on Facebook like this. then most of the people who have faced the scam on social media, mostly surf the internet on social media only after 10 o'clock. If I talk about internet surfing they are at number three in India. there is about 30 to 35 percent of online digital scam in India and it is increasing by 20 to 25 percent year after year. 

You will take 5 - 10 minutes to work hard online but report so that nobody can make any fraud with you and people around you aware of such things. Remember one more thing that if you buy goods, there will be a transaction of money. Now if you are there through UPI or credit card, then that data also used to go to them to show that all of them had secure servers 9,200. What would be the best way to exchange it so that it would happen. 

At least your things worth INR 200 -5000 are different, but if your data is your account number or card number, all those things should be safe, then how will the face turn transaction be in such a place. Those who solve these problems etc., either take their details or they ask for the name email id. They can also take some of their own from the particular server. If you see that for the first time directly like others have told that you do not know much about new websites.

you are getting any offer from them, and they put their portal, then you should avoid it. Now if you feel that let's change it, then 500 will also go, many companies install in such trend, in many online scams, when your money goes to pay now, then they give you their link, it's secure or not. If it happens, at least it remains to you that even you lose your money 500 rupees only, your bank details which you are going to share or UPI yours will be saved, then you feel that You should take a chance to take it.

Hopefully, the strange transaction way is secure, it is not an old loan way or an exiting stable company whose payment gateway they are using. If you use them, then you will pay the money for this, but at the same time, the information you have shared is secure, or suppose you have the option of cash on delivery there.

Yes, but these online scams seem very smart because even if they do not pay attention, they will not stay in the office, so how come they are not alone for most of the delivery, they now take payment by Euros in UPI, credit card or debit card and it turns out that if you want an 80% discount, then you have to pay too. Where they hacked your card details and you don't know about it

And if you also pay online, then you get a discount of 25% and you also talk to everyone. Somebody sees that if they play smart, then there is only one way for that, do you have to be smart too. You have to be a little aware that it is not that you just saw it and went shopping in a hurry. whether the amount is small or big, it does not matter, but you should not be wrong, then a lot of products are sold on social media through online shopping.

So that other people are also aware, which will reduce the online shopping scams, what will someone say and people become aware it. Avoid phishing scams while shopping online. social media or cyber cells are available to us. Online facility is also available with the police, you must complain there and in this way, all these things can be fixed.
