Tips to avoid being scammed

These tips can help you have a clearer vision of what you should do or what you should not do to avoid falling for scams or being infected by a virus:

• Download applications from trusted sites: Although it is true that this year we have seen malware in applications on Google Play, this is still the safest store. If we find a store that we do not know, in general there are usually no guarantees. Therefore, we are exposed to dangers. Read the description of the application: It is something that on many occasions we do not do, but it takes a couple of minutes and can help us a lot. If it is a scam or is infected, sometimes we can see inconsistencies in the description of the application. Enough to mistrust. Or if we see that a lot of data is missing, it is also a reason for mistrust. User comments: One of the great advantages today is that we can find the comments of other users very easily. Reading them can help us to know about the operation, but also to discover if there are problems with said application.

With these tips, we can be a little more alert the next time we go to download an application and thus avoid falling into problems such as scams or being infected by a virus.
