Spotting and avoiding online shopping scams 07/12/2024

Online shopping offers convenience, but it also opens the door to various scams. Here are some common ones to watch out for:
1. Copycat Retail Websites and Apps: Scammers create fake online stores that look like trusted retailers, offering steep discounts. But beware of poor website design, strange URLs and deals that seem too good to be true.
2. Social Media Scams: Scammers use sponsored ads on platforms like Instagram and TikTok to tempt you with unbelievable deals. Be cautious of flashy offers and claims of limited-time deals; always investigate before making a purchase.
3. Internet Auction Scams: Online auction sites can be breeding grounds for fraud. Protect yourself by researching sellers, using secure payment methods, and understanding the site's dispute resolution process.
4. Online Pet Adoption Scams: Fraudsters exploit emotions by offering fake pets for adoption online. Look out for red flags, insist on video calls to confirm the pet's existence, and avoid upfront payments.

Spotting and avoiding online shopping scams Shoppers are increasingly, and exclusively, shopping online rather than shopping at brick-and-mortar stores. The retail landscape has seen a drastic transformation in the last 10 years and unfortunately, it’s a huge gain for cybercriminals. The prevalence of online scams has continued to rise, wit...

The heat is here to stay and all we want to do is to keep cool and save some money too. Here are some ways to lower that AC bill:

❄️ Keep blinds or curtains closed during the hottest parts of the day to block out sunlight and reduce indoor temperatures.

❄️ Set your thermostat a few degrees higher when you're away to save energy, and use fans to circulate cool air more efficiently when you're home.

❄️ Regularly clean or replace air filters to ensure your AC unit runs efficiently, and consider scheduling annual maintenance to keep it in top condition.
