Shoppers are advised to prioritize trusted retailers, avoid using public Wi-Fi for online purchases, and carefully verify unexpected emails or messages before clicking links. Experts also recommend securing devices with up-to-date antivirus software and keeping digital or physical records of purchase receipts for added protection.
By staying informed and cautious, shoppers can enjoy the holiday deals without falling victim to scams.
