Here are three important tips for safe online buying of gold:

1. Choose only reliable apps and websites.

Always make sure that your online platform to buy gold is reliable and very well established. Never use any app or website one doesn't know its reputation. Cash-on-delivery option will be available, which will give you security assurance. Next, always inquire about the purity of the gold being sold-such as its karat value-before purchasing from anyone.

Whenever there is a QR code payment ask for an authentication of the app before proceeding to pay them.

2. Beware of attractive offers

Dhanteras and Diwali have brought in a frenzied spree of advertisements about attractive deals and discounts on gold purchase on various platforms. A number of these deals might be frauds to attract innocent customers. Don't gullibly believe promises of excessive cashback or extremely low discounts for these are scam attempts to steal your personal data. All such deals are links, apps, or websites that might hack into your data if accessed; hence, stay alert and do not open strange links.

Whether you buy gold online or offline, ensure that you get an official bill from the purchase. A proper bill proves your purchase; however, it also serves as your document of genuineness and authenticity, showing that you obtained it from a reliable vendor. Further, the presence of a bill will come in handy if you ever intend to sell it because it will, without a doubt, authenticate its reality as well as help prove its full value.
