[Online Safety] How to avoid online shopping scams when you’re buying things online?

Online shopping scams have become a lot more rampant especially now as we are spending more time online be it to shop, sell, or browse.

It’s highly likely you may encounter or hear about a scam every so often.

Here are 7 steps you can take to avoid online shopping scams:

1. Never, ever share your personal details with other people.

Such as address, phone number, identification card number, online banking login details, or credit/debit card OTP. Keep this information strictly to yourself only.

2. Always be doubtful and paranoid.

Question deals and promotions that sound “too good to be true” and “too easy to be done”. A contest that offers an insane amount of rewards or an attractive job opportunity or income that requires you to make upfront payments first. (That’s obviously a scam!)

3. Think twice or thrice, just take your time.

Do not accept/respond to something instantly no matter how urgent it is. Instead, take time to verify the situation through reliable sources and official platforms.

4. Stay calm no matter what.

If you receive a call, a message, or an email from an authority that demands you to take action instantly or you’ll get into trouble, stay calm, take a deep breath, and call the authorities through official contacts to verify the situation with them.

5. Observe the sender’s information.

Does the call or message come from a private number or foreign number?

Does the email come from an address that ends with a random domain?

If yes, don’t respond to any of them.

6. Strengthen your online accounts

Set a strong password combination, update your software to the latest version, or enable two-step verification are some of the effective ways to prevent account hacking.

7. Always refer to an official source

There are many ways in which a scammer may fool you, this may include impersonating someone they are not. When in doubt, always refer to the verified and official channels such as PG Mall’s official website or official social media accounts.
