Beware to be the victim of online fraud

In today's time the whole world has gone online and consumers or rather common people are doing online transactions from banks. They do not shop in the market by going to the shop, but are ordering goods through online orders. This is the reason why e-commerce companies like Amazon and Flipkart advertise lucrative deals on social sites like Facebook and Instagram. Many times people get caught in the rush of shopping and become a victim of online fraud.
