How to Avoid Online Frauds?: Auction or shopping scams..


With online shopping & auction sites wherein you put up household items and gadgets for bidding and sale becoming popular, the scope of fraud has increased.

You could be scammed out of your money by not receiving the goods at all, getting poor quality items, or being charged more than the price mentioned.




Your credit card information could also be used fraudulently. Besides, the seller could be defrauded if he does not get any payment.
 
To avoid it, make sure you know as much as possible about the item and seller / or  buyer.The latter should not have just an e-mail or / a post office box address.

Call him up and ask him about the address and extra charges. Also go through the feedback.
