Fake shops and deals

Very low prices (a new iPhone for ₹9,999, 90% off) in Instagram or Facebook ads are often fake shops.
Fake shops take your money and send nothing, or steal your card details.
Buy from shops you know. With unknown sellers, choose cash on delivery.

RememberPrice too low? The shop is fake.

Example from the test

iPhone 16 for only ₹9,999! Today only, 200 pieces left. Pay online now, no cash on delivery.

Answer: Scam. The price is far too low and there is no cash on delivery. Fake shops take the money and send nothing.
