An ad offers a high-demand item at an unbelievably low price, but only if you act now. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

Scammers rely on urgency to push shoppers into quick decisions.

Protect yourself if the offer:

  • Uses countdowns or “limited time” pressure.

  • Comes from an unfamiliar website.

  • Only accepts unusual payment methods.

Before you commit to a “great deal,” check the website URL, read reviews and verify secure payment options.
