How certain are you that your purchase is authentic in a world where everything can be obtained with a single click?  Even superstars, with their wealth and connections, are vulnerable to internet fraud.  Recently, filmmaker karan johar revealed the startling tale of a well-known bollywood starlet who lost 82,000 to instagram scammers acting as merchants.  The actress came over an instagram advertisement for a luxury gown while getting ready for an international film festival.
 
It was being marketed for 82,000, although the original price was 4.5 lakh.  Is it too wonderful to be true?  Perhaps.  However, in order to make the offer appear genuine, the con artists did a good job of responding promptly and sending thorough pictures.  She transmitted the money over UPI out of a sense of urgency for the "last piece available," only to discover she had been tricked.  No dress.  No answer.  It's a dead end.  She had nothing but remorse once the scammers vanished.  If a well-known actress can be conned, what about ordinary consumers?
 
Online frauds are becoming more sophisticated, taking advantage of consumers' gullibility and confidence.  Slick discounts make individuals unaware of the dangers, and social media is a breeding ground for scammers.  Do we trust internet vendors too quickly?  The most effective defense?  Be careful.  Always double-check sellers, read reviews, and steer clear of improbable offers.  If something seems too good to be true, it most likely is.  Because the best deal might also be the worst trap in the wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>digital world.
