Amazon Flipkart Sale: Don't let your account become empty in the pursuit of profit, understand the web of fake links like this..

With the arrival of the festive season, everyone awaits major sales like the Amazon Great Indian Festival and Flipkart Big Billion Days. But while people are excited to shop with discounts and offers, scammers are also ready to take advantage of this opportunity. This year, the sales are just a few days away, and scammers have already started sharing fake screenshots and links to lure people.

Many forwarded messages are circulating on WhatsApp and other messaging apps claiming to offer a phone for just 1 rupee, while the actual price is said to be between 20,000 and 40,000 rupees. Believing these false claims, people click on the links and become victims of fraud.

Scammers have become more cunning with AI.

AI technology has made the situation even more difficult. It is now extremely easy for scammers to create clone websites and screenshots that look like Amazon or Flipkart. This is why distinguishing between genuine and fake sites has become a challenge for ordinary people.

Fraudsters create payment pages on these fake websites that look exactly like the real one. The user believes they are purchasing on the genuine site, but as soon as the payment is made, the money goes directly to the scammers' account. Sometimes, even your personal information and photos end up in the wrong hands.

Distinguishing the Difference Between Genuine and Fake

To avoid this, you should keep a few things in mind. First, think before clicking on any unknown link. If a link looks suspicious, don't trust it. The safest way is to check the offers yourself by opening the Amazon or Flipkart app or official website.

Check the URL

Also, always check the URL carefully. The genuine site's address is correct, while fake websites often have typos or extra words added. Never share OTP or bank details with anyone, as genuine companies don't ask for such information.

Don't act rashly

For your own safety, keep two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled and don't click on any offers in a hurry. Remember, scammers exploit this psychological fear of missing out. The joy of a sale is truly realized when your hard-earned money is protected. Therefore, be cautious when shopping and double-check before trusting any offer or link.
