Many e-commerce companies offer huge discounts and offers to woo customers. From new clothes to gifts and electronic gadgets to furniture and automobiles you can buy anything online at a discount. If you are also planning to go shopping, then I am sharing some important shopping tips with you. If you keep these tips in mind, you will be able to protect yourself from online fraud. Today I will tell you how you can identify the right and wrong goods.
Do not shop via link:
It is generally seen that most of the frauds are done through WhatsApp or any other messaging app. If you see a link of an e-commerce company with huge discount on any social site, then avoid buying it. If you are buying goods from Flipkart or Amazon, then go through the app and check the reviews as well.
QR Codes:
To avoid counterfeit products, you should check QR code and the hologram. Electronic and FMCG companies place a special type of QR code and hologram on their product to protect against counterfeit products. With this code you can identify real and fake products.
Avoid huge discounts:
While shopping online, always keep in mind that if a company is offering a discount of 70-80 percent in any goods, then it can be fake. So do not buy fake things due to the temptation of huge discount.
Must check IMEI number
Everyone knows that every product has a model number. Look at this model number by putting it on the website of any e-commerce company. In addition, check the details of the same model number from the official website of the product. If you are going to buy mobile online, look at the IMEI number written on the box and match it with the IMEI number given for that model on the brand's official website before purchasing the product.
I hope these tips are helpful for you while you opt for online shopping
