Don’t fall for discount traps on your favorite gadget – Here’s how to play it safe

0

Smartphones have become real lifesavers – we use them all the time – to watch content, stay connected or shop online. Online shopping has led to the hunt for lucrative deals (discounts never hurt anyone, right?). For example, before buying a smartphone, we compare different sites, ask our friends about sites for new deals, and believe in word-of-mouth reviews. In the age of enticing discounts, we are blinded by the frauds that could befall us. Unfortunately, it has also given rise to scammers who are on the lookout for any opportunity to trick innocent customers.

To her surprise, she came across a website that promised an apartment at 70% off.
