One fake website is offering shoppers up to 90% off products in a fake clearance sale
Wilko shoppers are being warned to not get scammed after fake websites have been set up offering sales and discounts.
Over 12,000 jobs are at risk and PwC has been appointed as the company's administrator, tasked with trying to find a buyer for the business.Since its closure, several fake websites have been set up claiming to offer heavily discounted prices on Wilko products. However, Wilko has stopped selling goods online and is no longer offering home delivery.
In this case, one fake Wilko website is offering shoppers up to 90% off products in a fake clearance sale.Often, when scammers are replicating a brand’s page, they can get a little sloppy when it comes to branding. Low-quality images and logos, poorly photoshopped designs, or using outdated branding are key things to look out for on a brand’s social media page.Another red flag that gives away fake websites is spelling and grammatical errors.
As well as this, sign up to Verified by Visa or MasterCard Secure Code when given the option. This process involves registering a password with your card company, which will add a further layer of security when you are shopping online.Privacy policies tend to get overlooked due to how long and complex they are, but they are still very important. The privacy policy of a website will tell you how it collects personal information.
