What should I pay attention to in online shopping?

Combined with many online shopping complaints recently accepted, the industrial and commercial department summarized four traps in online shopping:

Trap 1: low price temptation. On the website, if many goods are at half price or even lower than the market price, then we should be vigilant and think about why they are so cheap, especially brand-name products, because brand-name products are not so far from the market price except second-hand or defective products.

Trap 2: high bonus. Some illegal websites and webpages often use huge bonuses or prizes to lure consumers to browse webpages and buy their products.

Trap 3: false advertising. The product descriptions provided by some websites are exaggerated or even false propaganda. After the consumer clicks to enter, the purchased goods are inconsistent with the samples seen on the Internet. In many complaint cases, consumers reported that the goods did not match the samples after arrival. Some online stores cheat money, turn off servers, and then open new websites to continue the same trick.

Trap 4: Set format terms. It's easy to buy things, but difficult to return them. Some websites adopt format clauses in purchase contracts, and do not assume the responsibility of "three guarantees" for goods sold online, nor do they have return instructions. When consumers buy poor quality products and want to exchange them or repair them, they can do nothing.

Four tricks to see through online scams:

Trick 1: Don't be fooled by online hype, especially don't believe the information of hot-selling goods and discounted goods online.

Trick 2: choose a website with formal management rights to buy. Regular websites are marked with the online sales license number and the red shield logo of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, and consumers can click to enter the query.

Trick 3: Choose the payment method and purchase type. It is recommended to use cash on delivery instead of buying large products.

Trick 4: Consumers should verify whether the after-sales service of products is complete and whether there is a local agent, and pay attention to obtaining a shopping invoice or receipt before buying.

The key to online shopping is to prevent fishing and improve safety awareness.

Online shopping is being accepted by more and more consumers. However, fraud cases caused by the Internet are also increasing, and "phishing" that appeared last year is one of them.

Nowadays, fraudulent activities, including the hard-to-find TMX· elmo toys, are constantly appearing on the Internet. On many shopping platforms, consumers keep complaining that Yi Bei sellers took their money to buy toys, but they disappeared before receiving the goods. Similarly, Sony Computer Game Company of the United States is also reminding online consumers not to believe that some websites will give discounts as compensation for game comfort if they book in advance. David, Global Education Director of Trend Micro, said: "People tend to spend time and money online at this time of year. These online scammers are very aware of this, so they will let our online consumers lower their vigilance."

He also said that in the rush to buy gifts, it is particularly easy for people to relax their vigilance. Therefore, he warned many consumers not to relax their vigilance with too many "holiday wishes" when shopping online. He also agrees that activities such as fraud and peddling will be rampant during the holidays. MX Logic reported that in September-165438+10, people received an average of 12-26 spam messages every week, seven more than in previous years. MX Logic attributed this increase in spam to holiday online fraudsters who lured customers into being cheated.

Consumer groups such as the Bureau of Business Improvement (BBB) and the Department of Consumer Affairs (CA) also warned consumers to be vigilant.

Mary, a spokeswoman for SonicWall Network Security Company, said that while online cheating is rampant, the number of phishing emails is also increasing. According to SonicWall, there are 750 million spam messages around the world during Thanksgiving and Christmas.

MX Logic said that during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, the number of legitimate websites sold online climbed by 20%, not to mention malicious websites. MX Logic says that this year is very different from last year. This year's online hawking is not only boring, but also malicious.

Experts suggest that even if the email comes from a company you are familiar with, such as Amazon.com or Lands' End, you should not let your guard down. Internet fraudsters are becoming more and more cunning. They can make their information look more and more legitimate. For example, an email from Amazon may remind you to update your billing information or inform you that your order is wrong.

The Business Improvement Bureau suggests shopping in your spare time, not when you are tired, stressed or upset. You need to have a clear "online mind". A clear head will keep you from being deceived when shopping online, and make you feel that goods and services are too good to refuse.

Investigate the company you choose. BBB suggests that you conduct a background check on countless online merchants on its website. Search Goole for websites you think may be trustworthy and see what the online community thinks of him. If the search result is some sharp criticism, then you know how to refuse.

You can also make a background check on the online stores you have searched by comparing shopping engines. Even if the engine has a good evaluation of the store, you should investigate it yourself, and don't easily believe the one-sided words of a single website.

Pay attention to details:

Check whether the commodity inspection URL of the website in the browser address bar is "http" or "https". Also check the browse window to see if the padlock image is displayed in the lower right corner of the page. These details show that the website has applied security codes to protect your credit card information.

If a retailer displays the patterns of Truste or Better Business Bureau online, it shows that the store can be trusted. But remember to click on this pattern to see if you can really connect to BBB or Truste website to verify the authenticity of the pattern. If the logo can't connect to the right website, go to BBB or Truste website to check the online store in person.

Track it on paper and check it twice. Print out all online receipts to check your credit card information. You'd better print all the guarantees again.

Try to pay by credit card. Because most banks will not support you to make fraudulent purchases.

Beware of charity fraud. Holidays are the season of charity fraud. Under normal circumstances, charity fraud will appear after the disaster, but holidays are also the peak of this behavior. Be wary of criminals using the name of similar legal charity and the slogan of similar legal charity to commit fraud.

In that case, go to BBB Smart Donation Alliance to check the charity.
