Make sure it checks out before you checkout
Homework isn’t only for school. Be sure to exercise due diligence before you confirm any payments online. Here are some ways you can avoid being an unwilling participant in an online purchase scam.
If you’re dealing with a seller on an online marketplace, find out how the website deals with payment issues and solves disputes. Some platforms will only release your payment to the seller after you receive the item.
If all else fails, don’t buy the item. As the saying goes, there are plenty of fish in the sea.
