Summary

So, what did we learn to look out for today on scam websites?

1. Incorrect Spelling and Grammar

2. Always check the website reviews on social media pages or trusted review pages like Trust pilot

3. Do your own research. Can you find out any more information about the business that owns the website?

4. Make sure the offer that was originally promised to you is the same offer reflected in the checkout.

5. Make sure whatever is in your online cart is what YOU added to it.

6. And finally, always check what currency you will be charged in.
