Online scams are becoming harder to recognise as fake platforms look increasingly genuine. Avoid sharing personal, banking or password details on unverified platforms.

Check website addresses carefully for unusual spellings or extra words. Always visit official websites instead of clicking suspicious links.

Extremely low prices and unbelievable discounts can signal fraudulent websites. Beware of countdown timers and messages designed to rush purchases.

Spelling mistakes, poor language and low-quality designs can indicate fake websites. Verify business addresses, customer care numbers and contact details.

Check whether an app requests access relevant to its purpose. Avoid apps demanding unnecessary access to contacts or call logs.

Read user feedback and look for complaints about suspicious activities. Compare download figures with genuine reviews before installing apps.

Keep Google Play Protect enabled to scan apps for potential threats. Consider a reliable mobile antivirus app for additional protection.
