The lure of 90% discount can be overwhelming, know the truth.<\/span><\/figure>\n

\n

During summer holidays, messages like ‘Summer Sale’, ‘90% Off’, ‘Flipkart Big Saving Days’ and ‘Amazon Great Indian Festival’ are coming everywhere on WhatsApp. Out of greed, many people click on these links and lose their bank details, OTP or personal information. This is a huge online shopping scam, in which fraudsters are robbing people in the name of fake discounts.<\/p>\n

How does this scam work?
<\/strong>Thugs send fake messages, like- ‘Amazon Summer Sale! 90% Off on iPhone 15 for just \u20b915,999. Click on the link now. After clicking on the link, you are taken to a fake website, which looks exactly like the real Amazon or Flipkart. There you are asked to enter your mobile number, OTP, bank details or UPI PIN.<\/p>\n

As soon as you enter the details, fraudsters withdraw money from your account.<\/p>\n

Identify fake links like this<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Excessive discounts: Offers like 80-90% off are mostly fake.<\/li>\n
  2. Message from unknown number: Genuine Amazon or Flipkart never send links from unknown numbers.<\/li>\n
  3. Short and strange links: Links look different from amazon.in or flipkart.com (like amzon-sale.in or flipkart-offer.net).<\/li>\n
  4. Haste: Things like ‘for limited time’, ‘today is the last day’ are written.<\/li>\n
  5. Grammar mistakes: There are mistakes in English or Hindi in the message.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
