Here are some of the most common Shopping & Saving Money scams:

Fake online retailers: These websites offer products or services at a fraction of the cost of legitimate retailers. However, once you order the product, you either never receive it or receive a counterfeit product.
Fake coupons: These coupons offer discounts on products or services that are not actually available. The scammers will often use these coupons to trick people into entering their personal information.
