Diwali Sale Fraud Safety Tips: With the beginning of the festive season, many e-commerce websites offer many offers and deals. Especially during Diwali, things are sold to customers at cheap prices. Great offers are given on gold, silver, clothes, shoes and other items. Diwali, one of the biggest festivals, is in a few days and people have already started shopping before that. From markets to online platforms, products are being sold under attractive discounts and offers under Diwali sale.

If you too are looking to buy cheap goods through Diwali sale, then first know some things. To protect yourself from scammers, consider 3 safety tips, otherwise your bank account may be emptied. Let's know 3 Safety Tips.

 

1. Avoid clicking on every website

Under Diwali sale, goods are sold on various websites and apps with different discounts and offers. Their advertisements appear on various websites including Facebook, Instagram, Google, some of which may be phishing links of scammers, fraud apps or websites. Therefore, you have to keep in mind that before clicking on any website, think 100 times. Do not click on any link in the hope of offers.

 

2. Do not keep the same password

If you also have a habit of keeping the same password for all the websites you use, then change this habit. It becomes easy for hackers to hack your data and they can easily track the same passwords being entered by you. After this, they gather the courage to access your bank account by obtaining your personal data. Try to have different passwords for everyone just like the login ID.

3. Always keep the software up to date

Keep your phone or laptop updated. It is important for every user to keep the software of the device updated, which protects your device from malware. Also, your data can be saved from being stolen. Therefore, keep the software of your phone and other devices updated from time to time.

Also, keep one thing in mind that you do not have to share the OTP received on your phone with anyone nor share your personal information with anyone.
