Consumers Association reminds consumers to guard against new traps and pay attention to consumer safety.

Credit card shopping falls into safety trap

Ms. Wang bought a fridge at a shopping mall. She paid the card by credit card. After the password was typed, she found it was wrong, so she told the waiter to input it again. The waiter said no problem. This credit card can be consumed without entering the password.

Ms. Wang is very puzzled. A few days ago, she used to swipe the card when she was spending money elsewhere. The waiter even checked the font of her signature carefully. How did she not use the password this time?

If a credit card is lost, is it possible for anyone to swipe the card? While she is applying for a credit card, she requires a password to confirm the paction.

The Consumer Association comments that credit card pactions are risky. Most banks provide customers with services to choose passwords or signatures or double insurance with password and signature, but sometimes there are certain security risks due to some technical problems.

Once lost, it is necessary to contact the bank for the first time to report the loss. In addition, the cashier should check the signature carefully when accepting credit card consumption. The password is not a firewall without flaws.

Shopping coupons fall into price trap

Ms. Kim saw a discount sale in a shopping mall "buy 400 to send 200".

She happened to see a leather shoe at a price of 389 yuan. In order to make up 400 yuan, she bought a small ornament in the shopping mall.

Get the 200 yuan value certificate, she wandered around the mall for a long time and didn't spend it. It was not a promising commodity that did not receive the coupon. It was only when the defendant knew that the coupon could only be used when purchasing more than 300 yuan of goods. As a result, it spent more than 4 hours in it, and finally spent more than 1000 yuan.

Ms. Kim intended to buy a pair of leather shoes and bought some valuable things to go home.

During the holiday period, consumers' discounts were frequent and activities were varied.

Consumers must keep their eyes open to see clearly the ways, rules, time limits, and scope of commodity sales promotion, and more importantly, to see clearly the relevant restrictions.

As a businessman, the sales promotion should be clearly indicated in the prominent position of advertising or business premises. If consumers fail to express or inform consumers, the consumers' interests should be damaged.
