Online offers create urgency, and urgency can hide risk. This hub explains how to assess a seller, payment request, return policy and promotional claim before sharing information or paying.
Stop immediately when
- A seller asks for an OTP, card PIN or remote access.
- Payment must be sent to an unrelated personal account.
- The domain or app publisher does not match the brand.
- The discount depends on installing unknown software.
- Support refuses to provide written terms or a return route.
When in doubt, leave the checkout and navigate to the provider through a known official channel.
