How to shop safely online during sales and Black Friday

Shop on official websites or trusted apps, check for the padlock in your address bar, and don't click links from emails or text messages. Go straight to the website instead. Use a credit card instead of debit, and if a deal looks too good to be true, it probably is.

Big sales bring out scammers who create fake websites and send trick emails to steal your money and information. The key is shopping smart: stick to official store websites, use credit cards instead of debit, and never trust links in emails or texts. Taking 30 seconds to check if a website is real stops most scams cold.
