Online Shopping Scams Are Rising, Here’s How You Can Stay Safe

Online shopping has made life so much easier. Whether it’s skincare, clothes, or the latest gadgets, we’re just a click away from getting anything delivered to our doorstep. However, with this convenience, a significant problem is growing quietly — online shopping scams.

Fake Instagram stores, cloned websites offering unbelievable discounts, sellers who disappear after taking payments, we’ve all seen or heard these stories. Sadly, many shoppers have lived them. The fear is real, and it’s making people think twice before trying out a new brand.

Why This Fear Hurts Genuine D2C Brands

This fear doesn’t just stop buyers; it hurts genuine small D2C brands too. These brands put their heart into building something new, spend on ads, and still watch customers walk away because there’s no trust. Shoppers hesitate, carts get abandoned, and honest businesses suffer for no fault of their own.
