Before making a purchase, it is important to recognise the warning signs.<\/p>\n<p>The approach is straightforward: <strong>identify warning signs, verify the retailer, avoid unsafe payment methods and preserve evidence<\/strong> if you suspect something is wrong. Acting quickly is essential if you have already shared personal or financial information.<\/p>\n<p>At <a title=\"SaveTheProof\" href=\"https:\/\/www.savetheproof.com\/en\/\">SaveTheProof<\/a>, we offer <a title=\"digital evidence certificates\" href=\"https:\/\/www.savetheproof.com\/en\/website-certificate\/\">digital evidence certificates<\/a> to document online content at a specific point in time. <strong>We do not determine whether a scam has occurred, but we can help you preserve digital evidence to support a potential complaint or claim.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Types of Black Friday Scams and How to Spot Them Before Buying<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Phishing<\/strong> is an impersonation technique designed to obtain passwords, banking details or persuade users to take certain actions. <strong>Smishing<\/strong> uses SMS messages to carry out similar scams.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fake online shops<\/strong> pretend to sell legitimate products. A misleading offer, however, may constitute a breach of consumer protection rules without necessarily establishing criminal fraud.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Phishing emails:<\/strong> advertise exclusive discounts and direct users to fake login or payment forms.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Parcel delivery scams:<\/strong> claim that a delivery has been held up and request a small fee or banking details.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Impersonation websites:<\/strong> copy logos, photographs and designs from legitimate businesses but use different domain names.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fraudulent adverts:<\/strong> promote products at exceptionally low prices and redirect users to shops whose identity cannot be verified.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fake sellers:<\/strong> demand payment outside the marketplace or through methods offering limited opportunities to recover funds.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Misleading discounts:<\/strong> display incorrect previous prices to exaggerate the advertised reduction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Spain&#8217;s National Cybersecurity Institute, <a title=\"INCIBE guidance on identifying phishing scams\" href=\"https:\/\/www.incibe.es\/aprendeciberseguridad\/phishing\">INCIBE, explains how to recognise phishing<\/a> and suspicious requests for personal information. No single warning sign proves that fraud has occurred.<\/p>\n<p>To <strong>shop safely during Black Friday<\/strong>, check the website address, the seller&#8217;s identity, the purchase terms and the available payment methods. A professional-looking website is not enough to establish trustworthiness.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Website address:<\/strong> access the retailer through its official URL, entered directly into your browser. Look for similar-looking names, additional letters and unusual domains.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Seller:<\/strong> check the registered company name, business identification details, address, contact information and verifiable returns policy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Offer:<\/strong> compare the price, exact product model, delivery charges and availability with other retailers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Urgency:<\/strong> be wary of messages demanding immediate payment or threatening the loss of a supposed prize.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Payment:<\/strong> prioritise methods offering buyer protection and avoid transferring money directly to unknown individuals.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reviews:<\/strong> consult independent customer reviews and check that they refer to the specific seller and website.<\/li>\n<li><strong>HTTPS:<\/strong> indicates an encrypted connection, but does not verify the retailer&#8217;s identity or establish that the shop is trustworthy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In an <a title=\"OCU analysis of Black Friday prices published in December 2025\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ocu.org\/organizacion\/prensa\/notas-de-prensa\/2025\/blackfriday031225\">analysis published on 3 December 2025<\/a>, Spain&#8217;s consumer organisation OCU found that <strong>89% of the crossed-out or reference prices<\/strong> examined did not comply with the applicable rules.<\/p>\n<p>The sample covered almost 2,500 products across 61 online retail platforms. <strong>This figure concerns advertised prices, not the number of scam victims.<\/strong> Breaches of pricing regulations may give rise to consumer complaints.<\/p>\n<p>Under <a title=\"Article 20 of Spain's Law 7\/1996 on price reductions\" href=\"https:\/\/www.boe.es\/buscar\/act.php?id=BOE-A-1996-1072\">Article 20 of Spain&#8217;s Law 7\/1996<\/a>, the previous price must generally be the lowest price applied to identical products during the preceding 30 days, subject to statutory exceptions.<\/p>\n<p>To learn how to compare promotions and document price changes, read our article <a title=\"Black Friday: Real Deals or Just Pure Fiction?\" href=\"https:\/\/www.savetheproof.com\/en\/black-friday-real-deals-or-just-pure-fiction\/\">Black Friday: Real Deals or Just Pure Fiction?<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Document Suspected Black Friday Scams with SaveTheProof<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Certifying digital evidence<\/strong> allows you to document specific content and its existence at the time of certification. This is particularly useful when an offer, price or web page may subsequently change or disappear.<\/p>\n<p>At <a title=\"SaveTheProof\" href=\"https:\/\/www.savetheproof.com\/en\/\">SaveTheProof<\/a>, we offer three types of certificates. Each preserves different information depending on whether you need to document a public URL, an interactive browsing session or an available file.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a title=\"SaveTheProof Website Certificate\" href=\"https:\/\/www.savetheproof.com\/en\/website-certificate\/\">Website Certificate:<\/a><\/strong> documents publicly available offers, prices, product listings and terms and conditions. Price: \u20ac4.95, including VAT.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a title=\"SaveTheProof Web Browsing Session Certificate\" href=\"https:\/\/www.savetheproof.com\/en\/browsing-session-certificate\/\">Web Browsing Session Certificate:<\/a><\/strong> records content and interactions during an authorised browsing session. Price: \u20ac9.95 per certificate, including taxes.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a title=\"SaveTheProof File Certificate\" href=\"https:\/\/www.savetheproof.com\/en\/file-certificate\/\">File Certificate:<\/a><\/strong> identifies a specific version of a file using its SHA-256 hash and certification date. Price: \u20ac0.95 per file, including VAT.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Why obtain these certificates?<\/strong> They allow you to preserve digital evidence at a particular point in time and obtain documentation that may support a subsequent complaint or claim.<\/p>\n<p>For example, you can document <strong>an advertised price, promotional terms, delivery times or the content of an online shop<\/strong> before that information is changed.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Product price:<\/strong> preserve the published offer so you can compare it with the amount eventually charged or advertised later.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Promotional terms:<\/strong> document discounts, dates, delivery charges and restrictions published by the seller.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Online shop:<\/strong> preserve the business and contact information displayed before it is potentially changed or removed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Checkout process:<\/strong> document authorised screens and interactions if you need to preserve terms that are not visible on a public URL.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Received files:<\/strong> certify exported documents or communications to identify their contents and check their integrity later.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To <strong>preserve evidence of a suspected online scam<\/strong>, act while the content is still accessible, without increasing your exposure to dangerous websites or compromising personal information.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>1. Identify the information:<\/strong> record the URL, product, advertised price, date and relevant terms if you can access them safely.<\/li>\n<li><strong>2. Protect your information:<\/strong> never enter passwords, card details or SMS verification codes on a suspicious website.<\/li>\n<li><strong>3. Choose the certificate:<\/strong> select the appropriate service for the public web page, authorised browsing session or available file.<\/li>\n<li><strong>4. Review the content:<\/strong> check that the evidence contains the necessary information before completing certification, where the service offers a preview.<\/li>\n<li><strong>5. Preserve the documents:<\/strong> download the certificate and associated files. Keep original order confirmations, invoices, payment receipts and communications.<\/li>\n<li><strong>6. Verify the certificate:<\/strong> use our <a title=\"Free SaveTheProof certificate verification tool\" href=\"https:\/\/secure.savetheproof.com\/verify\">free verification tool<\/a> to check the integrity of certificates issued by <a title=\"SaveTheProof\" href=\"https:\/\/www.savetheproof.com\/en\/\">SaveTheProof<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Practical example:<\/strong> you purchase a product advertised for \u20ac199, but the seller later claims it was priced at \u20ac249. A certificate obtained beforehand can document the advertised price and associated terms.<\/p>\n<p>If the retailer subsequently removes the product listing, the previously captured evidence may remain available. The certificate does not, by itself, prove that fraud or a contractual breach has occurred.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What can you do with the certificate afterwards?<\/strong> Use it alongside your invoice and other supporting documents to explain what information was published at the relevant time.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>When contacting the seller:<\/strong> attach the certificate to your complaint to document the price or conditions displayed in the original offer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>When contacting a marketplace:<\/strong> submit the evidence when opening a dispute or requesting a review of a purchase made through the platform.<\/li>\n<li><strong>When contacting consumer protection authorities:<\/strong> include the certificate and supporting documentation in a complaint to the relevant body.<\/li>\n<li><strong>When contacting law enforcement:<\/strong> preserve the evidence for a potential criminal report if you suspect an offence has been committed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>In legal proceedings:<\/strong> the certificate may be submitted as electronic evidence, subject to the applicable rules on admissibility and evidential weight.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Our certificates incorporate <strong>advanced electronic signatures and <a title=\"qualified electronic timestamp\" href=\"https:\/\/www.savetheproof.com\/en\/legal-validity\/\">qualified electronic timestamps<\/a><\/strong>.

Contact your bank:<\/strong> report suspicious transactions, request that your payment card or method be blocked, and ask about refunds, chargebacks or dispute procedures.<\/li>\n<li><strong>2. Secure your accounts:<\/strong> change compromised passwords, sign out of unfamiliar sessions and enable two-factor authentication.<\/li>\n<li><strong>3. Preserve the evidence:<\/strong> retain original emails, text messages, URLs, payment receipts, order numbers and any certificates obtained.<\/li>\n<li><strong>4. Make a complaint or report the incident:<\/strong> contact the relevant consumer protection body for commercial disputes or the police if you suspect a criminal offence.<\/li>\n<li><strong>5.
