Online consumers face significant risk when inadvertently accessing fake web shops, which are often designed with a high degree of sophistication to closely mimic legitimate e-commerce platforms. Besides the critical threat of data theft, an equally concerning risk is the potential to make purchases under the pretence of genuine transactions, only to find that ordered goods are never delivered. These fraudulent sites aim to harvest sensitive data, such as credit card details and personal information, leading to financial loss and identity theft. Consequently, in the organisational context, a single breach can have cascading effects, jeopardising company data and customer trust.

As the holiday shopping season approaches, consumers should be extra cautious of fake shops offering deals that seem too good to be true. Scammers often target the surge in online purchases during this period. Shoppers should verify websites and avoid rushing into discounted offers, especially from unfamiliar sellers. Further details about fake shops and best practices for identifying them are provided at the end of this report.
