- The 5 biggest online shopping scams right now (and how to avoid getting burned)
How to spot a scam before you click or buy By Kyle James of ConsumerAffairs April 3, 2026 Scammers are getting better at blending in: Fake texts, websites, and checkout pages now look completely normal, which is why people dont realize theyve been tricked. Most of these scams follow the same playbook: Create urgency, use a trusted brand name, and push you to act quickly before you have time to think or double-check. The easiest way to protect yourself is to slow down and verify everything:Dont click random links, stick to official websites, and always use a credit card. Online shopping has never been easier. One click, one tap, one quick checkout. And scammers know it. Right now, fraud isnt just happening in sketchy corners of the internet. Its showing up in places that look completely normal. Places like text messages, fake storefronts, and even package tracking alerts. The worst part? Most of these scams dont feel like scams until its too late. Here are the five biggest shopping scams happening right now, and how to avoid them. 1. The 'Your package has an issuetext scam You get a text that looks like its from USPS, FedEx, or Amazon. It says theres a problem with your delivery and you need to click a link to fix it. It feels urgent. It feels real. And thats the trap. Once you click: Youre taken to a fake website. Youre asked to enter personal or payment info. Or you download malware without realizing it. Why it works: Everyone is expecting packages. Scammers are exploiting that. Smart tips to avoid this scam: Never click on links in unexpected shipping texts. Go directly to the carriers official website, or the site where you made the purchase, and track your order from there. Check the senders phone number (its often random or international which is a red flag). If you didnt request a shipping update, make it a rule to not trust the text alert. 2. Fake online stores that look completely legit These are everywhere right now. Online stores that are created using AI tools to look very legitimate. Specifically, youll see: A Facebook or Instagram ad. A professional-looking website. Huge discounts (like 70% off name brands). You end up ordering and you pay.
