In the run‑up to the November sales of “11.11” and the large‑scale “Black Friday” promotion across Belarus, internet scammers are becoming more active.

Fraudsters create fake websites, post ads with enticing discounts, and offer goods at low prices. After receiving prepayment, they disappear, and counterfeit payment and delivery links can lead to theft of money from cards.

Digital safety guidelines:

• Buy only from reputable online marketplaces.
• Verify the website address and seller information.
• Do not transfer prepayment to unknown parties.
• Avoid clicking suspicious links.
• Never disclose your bank card details or SMS codes to anyone.
• Do not succumb to artificial urgency or promises of incredible discounts.
• If you become a victim of fraud, immediately contact your bank and law enforcement at phone number 102.

Stay vigilant and do not let scammers turn a good deal into financial loss.
