Survey Says: Online Shopping Scam Fears Exceed Reality
9 months ago
A survey reveals that fears about online shopping scams surpass actual experiences. Over half of the respondents fear receiving fake products, but only 15% have experienced this. The main anxieties include paying on insecure sites, clicking unsolicited offers, and peer-to-peer transactions. Less than a third are comfortable spending over $100 without researching the seller. Women tend to take more safety precautions than men, with checking buyer reviews being the most popular measure.
