But excitement about promotions should always be accompanied by caution when closing deals. The scams are frequent and varied. And the buyer must pay attention to every tempting offer. . Photo: Reproduction: Flipar
This Black Friday takes place in the third year of Pix’s existence, a system that brings practicality, but, at the same time, has been a target for criminals. . Photo: Reproduction: Flipar
Anti-fraud companies have been monitoring the situation, as the scams are repeated and renewed.. Photo: Reproduction: Flipar
Flipar gives you tips so you can enjoy Black Friday without falling for fraudulent maneuvers. . Photo: Reproduction: Flipar
A new Pix scam has put banking transactions carried out via cell phone applications at risk. The scheme consists of changing the recipient of the money.. Photo: Reproduction: Flipar
Here are the tips: The first is to make purchases on reliable websites, from large establishments that have already consolidated internet commerce. . Photo: Reproduction: Flipar
Consult platforms that show consumer reviews of stores. The most popular is Reclame Aqui, which exposes the main complaints and notifies whether traders have responded and resolved the complaints. . Photo: Reproduction: Flipar
Never click on links received by email or WhatsApp. Try to access offers only on the establishments’ official websites. . Photo: Reproduction: Flipar
Beware of fake store pages. Crooks can create a similar layout and similar address, often with just one letter or one point difference. Photo: Reproduction: Flipar
If you have any questions about offers from establishments on the internet, call the companies’ call center. . Photo: Reproduction: Flipar
Try paying with a credit card, instead of pix or bank slip, as recovering the money becomes less complicated in the event of fraud. . Photo: Reproduction: Flipar
Do not give credit card information over the phone. Purchases depend on providing the security code found on the back of the card. This number must be kept confidential. . Photo: Reproduction: Flipar
Be careful with stores that advertise few units of a product in the promotion. Consumers who are interested feel encouraged to make the purchase immediately so as not to miss the opportunity. In a hurry, you can make a bad deal. . Photo: Reproduction: Flipar
Another danger is accepting offers conditional on payment via pix. The seller warns that he will give significant discounts if the customer makes the transfer quickly. . Photo: Reproduction: Flipar
Consumers should also be suspicious when the store offers high discounts for bulk purchases, such as, for example, a special promotion for those who purchase five units of a product. Check this type of offer carefully. Photo: Reproduction: Flipar
Black Friday has already been nicknamed Black Fraud because, in addition to scams, many retailers try to deceive consumers about the real price of products, pretending to offer promotions. Research whether, in fact, the amount charged has been reduced. . Photo: Reproduction: Flipar
Platforms like Zoom and Buscapé have a tool with price history that shows the variation over the last six months. It’s a good source of research. . Photo: Reproduction: Flipar
The Proteste Consumer Association plugin notifies you of where to find the lowest price when searching in online stores. And informs you about the best discount coupons. . Photo: Reproduction: Flipar
Do not share your personal data with any platform or person on the internet. Photo: Reproduction: Flip
As a last resort, if you notice a scam, call the bank immediately and register at the police station, providing as much information as possible. But, after these tips from Flipar, that won’t happen! . Photo: Reproduction: Flipar
Taking all precautions, you can make the most of the promotions. Not just these special season discounts, but always! . Photo: Reproduction: Flipar
