Scams are always evolving, changing, and adapting. Arguably, theyâll never go away, so long as there are people out there hoping to make a quick buck at other folksâ expense. Scammers typically try to create a sense of urgency to get you to lower your guard.
Usually, if your gut tells you that a deal is too good to be true, it probably is. And in this day and age, thereâs not much urgency to be found when it comes to buying things. Sales happen so frequently that you only need a tiny bit of patience for the next one. Meanwhile, unless the item is a rare collectible, if the thing is currently out of stock, just wait a while: donât buy it for a huge price when the supply is low.
