Scammers can often take advantage during big sales, with fraudsters trying to con shoppers during Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Whether you are looking to add to your wardrobe, upgrade your skincare routine or purchase a new TV, Black Friday and Cyber Monday can offer huge savings. However, the sale events also often put consumers at risk of scams, with Action Fraud Crime urging shoppers to stay alert.
Last November alone, the average scam cost rose by almost 48 per cent to £1478, meaning that that the figure of loss per head leapt to around £3,600, costing more than seventeen thousand individuals a total of £63.8 million. The final quarter of the year, branded "peak season" in the retail calendar, is the busiest period for shops and shoppers alike. The experts are urging people to stay vigilant as they browse through the mega deals, with scammers taking the sale season as an easier way to catch people out.
