This infographic warns consumers about online shopping scams, where fake websites or fraudulent ads trick buyers into paying for non-existent, counterfeit, or poor-quality products. Victims may notice missing deliveries or mismatched items. Recommended actions include contacting the retailer, notifying your bank of suspicious activity, changing passwords, updating antivirus software, and reporting fraud to authorities. Consumers should also keep evidence such as emails and receipts, and share experiences to raise awareness. The guidance, part of European Cyber Security Month, encourages vigilance and responsible online shopping practices to reduce exposure to increasingly sophisticated scams.
