Cyber Monday Guide: How to Avoid Scams
2 min readNov 28, 2021
To avoid falling into deceptions or virtual scams, you should follow the following recommendations:
- Always enter the websites of the companies participating in the event, which can be verified through the official Cyber Monday page.
- When entering the page of a brand, you must verify that there is a yellow padlock in the lower right part of the screen, next to the Internet symbol. It means that the website is secure. If it doesn’t appear, then you don’t have a secure connection to your browser. This feature should be displayed when you get to the page to make the payment, not at home. Also, if the page URL starts with https: //, it is secure; if the URL starts with http: // (without the “s”), it is not secure. And, if the browser’s address bar is green, you can be sure that the page is from the entity it claims to be. It must be displayed when the page is reached to make the payment.
- Regarding sellers, the buyer should look at the contact information since if it is unusual or comes from a country that has nothing to do with the brand of the product, then it is not trustworthy.
- The publisher of a website, the author of a blog or the merchant of an online store must advertise the legal notices on their website. Otherwise it is considered an illegal site.
- Never reach the website through links available on third-party pages or emails.
- When buying, provide only the information absolutely essential for the operation. If an online store requires information that is not considered essential, then it is better to make the purchase elsewhere.
