The online shopping trap
It was mid-October. Diwali was just a week ahead. I was busy with my laptop doing some of my office works. I saw an advertisement in by laptop. It stated "Bumper Diwali Sale FLAT 90% OFF". I was just elated by seeing this. I had to buy new dresses for diwali. I clicked on the advertisement and I was directed to the online shopping page. I bought my a pair of jeans and a shirt for me and a saree for my mother. I added all my goods to the online cart and opened the portal to pay. It was all fine till now. Then I thought choose the cash on delivery option as I usually do the same but unfortunately I couldn't find that option. I had to go to net banking for paying as I didn't had second option. I entered my ATM card details and proceed and suddenly I saw that the goods amount was changed to Rs 30,000 that I had in my account. I was just shocked. I then saw the URL of the wbsite URL,it had very weird URL address and the wébsite wasn't safe. I understood that it was a fraud. I returned from that website and immediately changed my ATM account pásswórd. Thank God I was saved. One click and I would lose all my money.
Thanks
