CITY, Zamboanga del Sur (December 19, 2017) – As the age of e-commerce is
quickly becoming a trend, DTI warns consumers anew to be vigilant against scams
and protect themselves from the dangers that comes from the advancing digital
age.
While the
use of the cyberspace makes it easy to purchase goods and services that would
not be available in local markets, purchasing online opens up the doors for
cheating or scheming persons to take the consumers hard-earned money.
The DTI reminds
consumers to be wary, as online purchases can be tricky and most of the times,
hard to trace if problems arise from them. Provincial Director Marichu Atay,
said that consumers should practice safe online habits and avoid from products
or services that are too good to be true, or the seller has doubtful or
ambiguous details.
The
Philippines has yet to develop a foolproof security system that would ensure
the safety of online transactions. And before this happens, DTI reminds you to
be mindful as always, and do not give the chance for scammers and schemers
alike to take that hard-earned money away from you.
