Online sellers frequently tempt potential customers with offers of low-priced goods, only for consumers to find that they have been cheated. Moreover, some online buyers don't even receive a product if they pay in advance, as the fake sellers demanded.

In view of this, the newspaper reminds consumers to choose "cash on delivery" payment options when shopping online and stand firm to resist the temptation of low prices.

Additionally, the article calls on shopping Web sites to set up a credit-checking system so online shoppers can get authentic information about sellers. It stresses that consumers and e-commerce operators should join hands to aviod the potential risks of online shopping.
