Cyber Security

Shop for clothes online without getting scammed.

Fake shops, counterfeit labels, parcel texts and resale tricks follow the same patterns. Walk through five quick checks, from the moment you see a deal to the day the parcel arrives.

Golden rules

Five habits that stop most scams

  • Pay by card or PayPal. Never by bank transfer, crypto or gift cards to a shop or seller you do not know.
  • Type addresses yourself. Reach a brand or carrier by typing its web address, not by tapping a link in an advert or text.
  • If it is too cheap, it is probably fake. Brand-new designer items are almost never 70% off.
  • Keep resale deals inside the app. Its protection ends the moment you move to WhatsApp, email or a transfer.
  • Never share a code sent to your phone. No real buyer, seller or courier needs it.
