Shop smart, not just hard
✅ Buy from reputable sources. Check the e-commerce platforms’ safety ratings by MHA (go.gov.sg/mhatsr)
✅ Verify offers on social media adverts by checking directly with the company instead of clicking on links.
✅ Pay using secure payment options offered by the e-commerce platforms.
✅ Avoid making advance payments or direct bank transfers to the sellers.
✅ Do not click on links or install third-party mobile apps sent by sellers asking for upfront payments or to receive refunds
✅ Delivery fees are paid upfront when purchases are made. Always check for updates regarding your order on official websites or trusted sources as you wait for your parcel 📦 to arrive.
