With the festive season approaching, e-commerce platforms like Amazon and Flipkart are gearing up for their sales. Buyers eagerly wait for these sales as they provide an opportunity to purchase goods at greatly discounted prices. However, this is also the time when cyber fraudsters become active, taking advantage of customers' excitement to potentially defraud them. To ensure a safe online shopping experience during these sales, here are some precautions to keep in mind:
Avoid ordering without proper research. Take time to understand the products and their prices before making a purchase.
Before finalizing the purchase, read the terms and conditions of the offer carefully. Make sure you understand the terms regarding returns, exchanges, and warranty.
Real price and effective price difference check of the product. Sometimes, sellers increase the original price to make the discount appear more significant.

Know the seller you are purchasing from. Read reviews and ratings to gauge their credibility. This can help you avoid fraudulent sellers.
Whether you are buying a small item worth Rs 300 or an expensive product worth Rs 50,000, be careful during the cash-on-delivery process. Do not share your bank details with the delivery person.
Remember that companies like Amazon and Flipkart do not sell their products directly; They have various sellers. In such a situation, it is important that while buying not only the phone but also any other things, it is important to check about the seller.

If you find a link to a sale, avoid clicking on it. Scammers often use tempting offers to lure customers into fake offers and steal their money.
You can enjoy a safe and rewarding online shopping experience during the festive season. Be vigilant, and don't become a victim of online shopping scams.
