Several fake websites have been set up by fraudsters
A warning has been issued to shoppers to be beware of fraudsters that are creating fake Wilko websites, scamming unsuspecting victims with fake clearance sales and discounts. With the advancement of online shopping scams that are used to prey on unsuspecting shoppers, being vigilant when shopping online is vital.
Always trust your gut and use logic for whether a deal is legitimate or not, regardless of whether a retailer is having ‘closing down sales’ or not. In this case, one fake Wilko website is offering shoppers up to 90% off products in a fake clearance sale.Often, when scammers are replicating a brand’s page, they can get a little sloppy when it comes to the branding.
The address should begin with ‘https.’ and there should be a locked padlock symbol that appears on the URL bar. This means that the site is secure for shopping. If there is no policy available or there is no registered address, this is a potential red flag that the site is actually a fake set up by fraudsters.When looking at the payment options, check to see whether the website enables you to pay with a credit card. Credit cards are one of the safest methods to pay for goods online, as credit card companies are able to easily refund any money that has been lost to fraud.
