There are also disadvantages to online shopping. First, scammers can trick you. Secondly, a real product can be much worse than its virtual bright image.
We have to understand how to avoid problems when shopping with your vanilla gift card balance on the network.
How Can They Cheat?
They Do not deliver the purchase. Some online stores are fully prepaid. Sometimes after that, you may receive defective goods or not see your purchase at all.
To Bring Defective Goods
The courier is often in a hurry, so you cannot carefully examine the purchase. And when you later find out that the product is defective, they refuse to change it under the pretext that you ruined the thing.
Sign For Spam
Unscrupulous online sellers require you to specify not only the phone number for communication, but also other personal information that does not apply to the purchase. And then they will sign you up for spam and advertising calls.
Phishing Site
Some sites only disguise themselves as an online store. All they need to do is to trick your bank card information with a secret code to steal your savings.
Illegal Goods
Some goods that are sold in foreign online stores in Russia may be prohibited. For example, Google Glass or a pen with a built-in voice recorder. Therefore, be careful before buying something that is not for sale at all. Perhaps this is no coincidence.
