Holiday Shopping Scam Checklist
Score any deal before you check out.
Fake shopping sites, fraudulent 'pay a small delivery fee' texts, and lookalike brand ads all spike predictably during peak online shopping periods, when genuine urgency and a flood of real promotions make people less likely to scrutinize any individual deal. This checklist scores any online store or delivery-related message against 14 weighted signals — discount size relative to market price, domain age and match, payment method, and whether a delivery link was clicked instead of verified directly on the carrier's site.
- →Covers all three dominant seasonal scam patterns: fake stores, fake delivery-fee texts, and lookalike brand ads
- →Flags payment methods (gift card, crypto, wire) no legitimate retailer would require
- →Includes the 'countdown timer that resets on refresh' dark-pattern check used by many scam storefronts
- →Weighted so the highest-signal checks (price vs. market rate, domain match, payment method) count most
- →Watermarked by Cikal Studio Labs · Works on any device, no install required
