To access online stores, whether via computer or mobile phone, it is essential to ensure that you are connected to a reliable network. Therefore, be extra careful with public internet access points, such as shopping centers, public transport or restaurants.
By connecting to the Internet via a network that is not yours, you may be providing access to your bank accounts and allowing the installation of small fragments of code known as Trojan Horses, which will then control your device in ghost mode without you noticing. Always choose to access via mobile data when you want to make an online purchase.
Distinguishing a legitimate website from a fake one
This is perhaps the biggest challenge for ordinary benin telemarketing consumers. It is an analysis process that requires some experience, knowledge and expertise. The ideal is to always opt for online stores of recognized reliability, however, even if we opt for the best-known brand, we are not immune to deception.
It is essential to pay attention to variations in URL names (website addresses). Often, there are accidental changes of letters in store names to mislead visitors by misspelling the store names. For example, changing the name from www.worten.pt to www.wortem.pt.
Always look for the website's security certificate, which is located next to the address (URL) in the form of a padlock, accompanied by the access protocol t the website is secure. It should be noted that certificates can be acquired with false data, however, it is always another barrier that criminals have to overcome.
