Warning signs
Is it the real deal?
Stay clear of fake websites
This website looks professional but has lots of popular items at very low prices. It’s a scam. If you’re not sure about a website, you can use a website checker like the one on Get Safe Online.
It’s safer to pay more money to a company you know is genuine than risk paying a fraudster.
Watch out for fake social media accounts
Fraudsters try to look like real sellers, with convincing social media profiles. They can fake pictures, reviews and even followers.
The best way to know if a seller is genuine is to see the item in person, especially if it’s local, large or expensive.
