Online shopping is a popular method of obtaining goods without having to wait in line; all you need is to input your credit card information and then wait of course. However, this is clever way for scammers to get your personal information without having you knowing. Links from well known package delivery services will be received on your phone telling you that you are expecting a package and in order to find out when you will be receiving it is to click on the link. Then you input your personal information in order to obtain said information of the package that probably will never arrive to you.

It is important to get informed on how to safely shop online and look for any red flags before clicking on anything if you are unsure if the website is legit or not.
