Online Shopping Safety
This guide helps you spot fake stores, risky marketplace listings, suspicious tracking links, and payment red flags before they cost you money.
Preview checklist
- Check the website address carefully.
- Be cautious with prices that are too low.
- Use safer payment methods.
- Avoid paying through unusual apps or gift cards.
Safer move: Slow down before you pay. If a deal feels urgent or the price seems too good, close the page and reach the store another way — type the address yourself or open the official app. Pay with a credit card so your card's fraud protection has your back if anything goes wrong.
