Black Friday is one of the most eagerly awaited times of the year for finding great discounts. But it is also a favourite time for fraudsters. Every year, there is an increase in attempts at phishing, fake websites and online fraud that seek to take advantage of the shopping boom.

Por eso, desde Axarfusión, queremos ayudarte a disfrutar del Black Friday con total seguridad, protegiendo tu conexión y tus datos personales.

 1. Only shop at official and secure stores. Before clicking on an irresistible offer, carefully review the website.

• Ensure that the address begins with https:// and that the security padlock appears in the browser bar.
• Be wary of websites that imitate major brands but have strange names or prices that are too good to be true.

Tip: Bookmark the official shops where you usually shop.

2. Do not share unnecessary personal data

A legitimate online shop will never ask you for information such as your full ID number or bank details by email. If you receive a message or email with a suspicious offer, do not click on any links or download any attachments.

Remember: rushing is a fraudster’s best friend.

3. Keep your connection secure

Shopping online using a public or unsecured WiFi network can put your data at risk. Whenever possible, use your home connection or a private network.

With Axarfusión, you enjoy a secure and stable connection, ideal for worry-free shopping. 

4. Use reliable payment methods. 

Opt for virtual cards, PayPal, or other services with buyer protection. Avoid direct transfers or payments via links sent to you by instant messaging. And check your bank statements during peak activity days: if something doesn’t add up, contact your bank immediately.   

5. Update your devices 

Before you start hunting for bargains, make sure your mobile phone, computer and browser are up to date. Updates fix vulnerabilities that cybercriminals could exploit.

The best deals are worthless if they compromise your security. Shop wisely, check every detail, and enjoy your purchases with a local, fast, and secure connection.  

With Axarfusión, you get more than just the Internet: you get peace of mind, local support and a connection that looks after you.
