Amazon and Flipkart sale has started. However, as soon as these sales start, scammers also become active. During this week-long sale, scammers will try to dupe users by offering fake deals that look real. Although scammers have no real need for a sale, they take advantage of the fact that most users are active during these sales and can quickly fall for their tricks. Clicking on fake links in pursuit of discounts and purchasing from any platform is a common pitfall.
Key points to keep in mind while shopping:
Debit and credit cards: Be careful while using debit or credit cards. Avoid saving card details during payment. If hackers gain access they can compromise your details.

Forwarded Links: Never click on links coming through WhatsApp or any laptop without checking. Hackers often create fake website links, which can drain your bank account.
Official Platform: Whenever you shop online, make sure to visit the official website to make your purchase. Do not share OTP (One-Time Password) based on any call or message request.
