Technology expert Carmi Levy joins the Nightshift to discuss the increasing prevalence of fake shopping websites and how they operate to scam online shoppers. These sites mimic legitimate retailers using counterfeit logos and stolen product images. They lure victims through social media ads with deep discounts, collect payments and personal information, and then fail to deliver any products. Victims may receive nothing, cheap knock-offs, used or damaged goods, or completely wrong items. Carmi also provides warning signs to identify fake e-commerce websites, such as suspicious URLs, lack of contact information, copied legal pages, and too-good-to-be-true discounts.
