Be cautious with emails or WhatsApp messages containing unexpected offers. These may include viruses or malware. If you receive a suspicious message, delete it without opening the attached links.

Additionally, make sure that the online store you wish to purchase from has a valid phone number and postal address. This makes it easier to contact them in case of any inconvenience or problem.

Regularly update the antivirus and operating system of your devices. You should also make your purchases from your personal network or from places with secure connections. Public networks are more vulnerable to interceptions and fraud.
