Black Friday shopping is wrapping up but not all retail deals are, some online deals are just beginning and there’s a new scam shoppers should be aware of.

Ordering online is for some the most convenient and easiest way to take advantage of holiday sales and a lot of people use their cell phones to make those purchases.

The Mid-South Better Business Bureau warned in their podcast, "The Voice of Trust", “When you’re on your phone as opposed to a computer you can’t see the full URL," the BBB said. "It’s truncated and so, you don’t even know if you’re on a real website or a fake website, or a look-like website, especially if you’re clicking on links from social media. Right? So, you be really careful just because you think you’re on a website double-check; don’t trust links. And watch for bad grammar. We call that ‘scammer grammar’.”

More at link. Screenshot price when you order & save it! This os not new. I've had both Rock Auto & Jeggs up price significantly afyer order was placed.

Jeggs fixed the error. Rock Auto refused to do so, even though I had screenshot of order & price saved & emailed to them. I refuse to do business with Rock Auto since then.

Beware scammers!
