Holiday Scam Alert! 🎄🚨
As the holiday season approaches, shoppers are looking for great deals on luxury advent calendars… but beware of scams! The consumer group “Which?” warns that fraudsters are offering deals that seem too good to be true, like Space NK’s £250 advent calendar being advertised for just £28.99.
With the rise in popularity of luxury advent calendars, the risk of scams is higher than ever.
Here are some tips from a BBC article to protect yourself while shopping online:
🛑 Be cautious of prices that seem too good to be true.
🔍 Verify the website URL to ensure it is real.
🗓️ Check the age of the website using domain checkers like who.is.
📝 Read reviews and only purchase from authorized sellers.
Stay vigilant and protect your holiday shopping from scams!
