Beginner rule: Use AI as a helper for drafts, checklists, and explanations. Do not treat it as a final authority for money, health, legal, or safety decisions.
Short answer
Before buying from an unfamiliar shop, check the business, payment page, reviews, return policy, and contact details.
Why this matters
AI can make a fake store look polished. A nice design and smooth writing do not prove the store is real.
Step-by-step
Search the store name plus “reviews” or “scam,” check the address, avoid pressure timers, and use safer payment methods when possible.
Try this prompt
“Review this online shop page for warning signs. Tell me what to check before entering my card details.”
Common beginner mistake
Do not let urgency decide for you. A message can sound official and still be fake.
Safety note
Never share passwords, verification codes, bank details, or private documents because of one message or call.
What to do next
Use the 10-second scam check before clicking, replying, paying, or sharing.
