Your quick guide to spotting Black Friday scams

November 26, 2025

Black Friday, which falls on November 28, marks the unofficial start of the shopping season (yes, in India too).

- Navya Sharma

Once used by US retailers to signal a profit day, it now brings a rush of flash sales, and a spike in cybercrime, as scammers use fake listings and sites to lure deal-hunting shoppers.

HOW TO AVOID BLACK FRIDAY SCAMS

• Double-check website URLs before you buy

• Be cautious of new or unverified websites and pages

• Read reviews and buy only from authorised sellers

• Enable two-step verification and use strong passwords

• Never share personal or banking details through links or popups
