1. Shop from Secure Sites
Only use trusted sites with URLs starting with “https” to avoid scams. Fake websites often target shoppers during festive sales, so double-check the site before making any purchase.
2. Use Secure Payment Options
Opt for credit cards or secure payment gateways to benefit from fraud protection. Virtual card numbers are a good alternative for added safety.
3. Avoid Public Wi-Fi
Use mobile data or a secure home network to prevent data breaches while shopping online.
4. Verify Offers
Research any discount or sale offer carefully to avoid scams.
5. Limit Personal Data
Only share essential information, as sharing too much can increase the risk of data theft.
With these tips, you can enjoy safe and hassle-free Diwali shopping while protecting your finances!
