Originating as one of the medicinal, healing waters from the Epsom wells, Epsom Salts are renowned for their ability to soothe and relax tired, aching muscles.

Packed full of minerals and natural goodness, Himalayan Salt is known for its detoxifying properties and is the purest salt on earth.

Renowned since ancient times when Cleopatra is said to have bathed in the mineral-rich waters, Dead Sea Salts help to soothe, nourish and protect dry and itchy skin, particularly for those prone to Eczema and Psoriasis.

Product Information:

Aqara G4, the first battery-powered video doorbell to work with Apple’s HomeKit Secure Video

The Aqara G4 is a unique video doorbell in that it can be wired, or battery powered. It is also the first battery-powered video doorbell to work with Apple’s HomeKit Secure Video and supports streaming to Google and Alexa smart displays. Beyond HomeKit Secure Video, the G4 offers a wide range of features and capabilities, including 1080p video recording, a 162-degree wide-angle lens, two-way audio communication, motion detection, AI facial recognition, infrared night vision, weather resistance and full customisation. It is not only packed with functionality but has a sleek and modern design with a choice of Black or Space Gray, guaranteed to complement any home setting.

As the G4 is Apple Homekit compatible videos and notifications can be viewed on any Apple device including iPads, iPhones, and Apple TVs so they are always easily accessible whether at home or out and about. For Google and Alexa users, it also supports local streaming to Nest and Echo smart displays. The G4 is now compatible with Matter too to offer consumers as much choice as possible.

The G4 can be fully battery-powered, which means the user can set it up anywhere on their own in minutes, by simply using the included sticker or easy screws but there is also an option to wire it to any existing doorbell if preferred. Despite it being feature packed, the G4’s battery life is one of the longest: its 6-battery pack means it can be used for up to 4 months and the AA batteries can be easily and cheaply replaced. However, there is also the option to wire the G4 to a 12-24V AC or 8-24V DC transformer, whereby the batteries will only kick in case of a power outage. Thanks to its IP rating, the G4 will resist almost any condition: direct sunlight during the hot sunny days, long winters and even wet conditions.

Black Friday/Cyber Monday is one of the biggest shopping events in the calendar worldwide, and with a rise in online shoppers hunting for a bargain before Christmas comes increased opportunities for cybercriminals.

Personal finance experts, at Wealth of Geeks are warning shoppers who rush to grab the best deals to be extra vigilant of circulating scams that appear year on year.

Michael Dinich founder of Wealth of Geeks says,

“Fraudsters are becoming increasingly clever as technology evolves, and during this busy shopping period, it provides the perfect opportunities to exploit the increased volume of transactions and potentially catch shoppers off guard.

“Most of the time, a cybercriminal’s motive is to steal a customer’s money, or personal information such as bank details, login credentials, personal address.

“Therefore, to protect themselves, shoppers should take steps to secure their online activities, such as using strong, unique passwords, enabling two-factor authentication, being cautious of phishing attempts, and regularly monitoring their financial statements for any suspicious transactions.”

Below, Wealth of Geeks share 10 of the most common Black Friday/Cyber Monday scams that catch shoppers out and how to spot them ahead of the big weekend.
1.
2. 1. Incorrect bank details scam

One of the most common is scammers emailing shoppers to say their billing information is incorrect, and that it needs changing immediately or the order will be void.

If a retailer asks you to change your bank details with urgency and claims there is a risk of losing out on an order you have made, then you should be suspicious.

Essentially, they are hoping to draw you into entering your bank details into a fake website that they have made to look real.

Regardless of whether you believe your bank details are correct or not, you should contact the retailer directly with any order confirmation or information so you can receive legitimate information on your account.
2.
3. 2. Hot deal scam

While Black Friday weekend is full of hot deals, certain popular items are advertised on fake websites that are generally hard to find.

These items turn out to be illegitimate and it will result in you paying for a product you will never receive- and the scammer now possesses your payment details.

If you come across an item like this, check the legitimacy of the product or the seller through Business Bureau who will verify.
3.
4. 3. Phishing emails

Phishing emails are commonly used throughout the year, and Black Friday is no different.

Phishing emails are designed to trick users into disclosing sensitive confidential information.

Therefore, it is important to not click on any links or pop-ups from sources that you are not familiar with.

This also applies to website, including suspect URLs (ones with no ‘https.’ or locked padlock symbol on the bar) and websites with poor design.
4.
5. 4. Fake tracking number scam

Fraudsters are sending fake package tracking notifications as an email attachment or link.

Scammers use these tactics to infect your device with malware or direct you to phishing sites

Legitimate retailers will never send tracking numbers via an attachment.

They are normally directly in your inbox or accessed via the retailer’s website. Therefore, always visit the seller’s site to get accurate tracking information for your order.

5. 5. Instant messages

Often, you may receive a suspicious-looking message with a link to a well-known website, urging you to click to secure a great deal.

Scammers will replicate the retailer website’s URLs and layouts, which makes it extremely hard to spot whether it is fraudulent or not.

However, majority of the time the link is fake, and clicking on it will invite an intrusion of malware on your device, making your personal information vulnerable.

Once they have encouraged people to click, they will then send phishing messages and keylogging malware straight to your device.

Before clicking on a so-called deal, go direct to the retailer’s official online website to see if that same deal is there.
6.
7. 6. Fake charity scam

Especially during the Christmas season there will be a surge in charity donations, and scammers are aware of this.

Therefore, they set up fake charities and use high-pressure tactics to get you to donate.

Often you can spot a fake charity with the face they only accept payment through gift cards, wire transfers or cryptocurrency.

You can check if a charity is legitimate through the Fundraising Regulator’s online directory.
7.
8. 7. Fake social media profiles

Social media profiles are simple to impersonate, as all a scammer must do is copy their logo, branding, hashtags, and content etc.

This mode of communication can trick customers into giving personal information or data or sell counterfeit products.

You can often spot if a social media website is fake through its aggressive advertising campaigns.

Always check if there is an alternative official social media account which is verified or has more followers before clicking on the one you have come across.
8.
9. 8. Fake product reviews

Fake Amazon product reviews are usually over-packed with technical jargon and feature unusual phrases.

However, it is in fact humans that are promoting these in exchange for payment from the product manufacturer.

There are ‘review exchange’ clubs online, normally on social media sites, where sellers on sites like Amazon will offer goods in return for overly generous comments-often ones that are extremely misleading.

Therefore, if you want to get a more accurate review of a product, compare reviews of the same product on several other official retailers before you purchase.
9.
10. 9. ‘Grey Market’ distribution

During Black Friday, brands will be using all kinds of channels to market and sell their products.

However, when a product falls out of a brand’s authorized network, they will no longer have control.

When this happens, unauthorized sellers may not properly display, package, handle, or ship the correctly. Therefore, returning or exchanging the product will be a lot more difficult.
10.
11. 10. Gift card and discount scams

Gift cards are a popular gift at Christmas, which is why scammer will offer gift cards at a discount, but these cards are either empty or stolen.

You should only buy gift cards from reputable sources, such as the retailer’s official store or online website.

Similarly, discounts and coupons received via email or social media that are advertised as huge discounts, can also be void. Therefore, verify the source of the coupon to ensure its valid before using it.

BLACK AND BLUE FRIDAY: OVER 12 MILLION BRITS HAVE FALLEN VICTIM TO ONLINE SHOPPING SCAMS
• As consumers and retailers rev up for Black Friday new research reveals that over 12 million Brits have been scammed when shopping online
• Although almost one in three (29%) victims were scammed at sales events, two fifths of consumers (40%) plan to shop in Black Friday and Cyber Monday
• While sales shoppers are becoming more savvy about the information they share online, 94% are willing to reveal at least one personal detail to bag a deal
• NordVPN is advising Brits to be on the lookout for scams such as fake websites and to protect their personal information when shopping online
London, 16 November 2023 — With Black Friday sales already in full swing, new research shows that more than 12 million Brits have fallen victim to online shopping fraud, with nearly a third of those scammed in festive sales[1].
The study from cybersecurity company NordVPN reveals there has been a 3% annual rise in people reporting online shopping scams[1].
One in 14 people (7%) say that they have fallen foul of a scammer on Black Friday or Cyber Monday, putting their cybersecurity and financial information at risk. The risk of cyber crime does not seem to be dissuading bargain-hunting Brits, however, with the number of shoppers planning to shop online in this month’s sales up to 40%, from 37% 12 months ago [1].
Also, despite the rise in people claiming they have been scammed online, 94% of Brits eyeing up this month’s sales admit they would disclose at least one piece of personal information in exchange for a better deal[1].
While the number of people willing to part with key credentials such as their name, home address, phone number, email address and payment details has declined, there has been a rise in shoppers willing to share more “harmless” details such as their likes and dislikes. Two in five people (41%) say they would share this information, without realising that it can be used by companies to track spending habits, and by criminals as a way of helping to guess passwords[1].
With Black Friday just over a week away, and sales already underway online, NordVPN’s cybersecurity experts are advising consumers on how to shop online more safely and prevent hackers from bagging bargains of their own.
Adrianus Warmenhoven, cybersecurity expert at NordVPN, comments:
“Black Friday is a time when millions of Brits are preparing to part with their cash – and scammers are waiting in the wings to take advantage.
“Above all else, remember this shopping season that if an offer looks too good to be true, or a lot of personal information is being requested in exchange for a deal — you are probably being scammed.
“Shop with secure websites and trusted sellers and be wary of any site asking for details that they don’t need. If they are offering you a better deal in exchange for your personal information, it is because this has significant value to them.
“More than 12 million people in the UK have fallen victim to online shopping scams in the past, so it’s important to stay on your guard. With the psychological pressure of ‘flash’ sales and limited-time discounts, it’s all too easy to click on things without thinking about what it is you’ve just agreed to.”
How to protect yourself from this year’s online shopping scams
• Only give as much information as needed: A legitimate website will only request details needed to make a transaction and ship your order.

• Check the URL: Without knowing it, you may have stumbled onto a fraudulent website that is taking advantage of a URL that is similar to a well-known brand, known as typosquatting. Watch out for the likes of ‘Amazun.com’ or ‘n1ke.com’, as they are likely a front to con you out of money. If you receive an email advertising Black Friday sales with a link to a deal and notice that the URL is shorter than usual, be cautious – while many are genuine, this can be a tactic used to dupe consumers or infect a device with malware. If you’re unsure, do an online search for the company’s website or enter the address manually.

• Avoid shopping on public Wi-Fi. It’s generally best to avoid shopping online using public Wi-Fi networks because they typically have weaker security and can be scanned and breached by hackers. If you lack alternatives, VPNs are a way to encrypt your connection and protect your data.

• Use tools to protect your online shopping experience. While hackers use AI to automate their attacks, users can also use tools to identify fishy online shopping websites. Tools like NordVPN’s Threat Protection help flag suspicious webpages and protect users from being scammed.

• Monitor your bank statements. One of the best ways to ensure you aren’t being scammed is by monitoring your bank statements online or via mobile banking. Doing this allows you to not only keep track of purchases and costs but can also help you respond quickly in case you notice a suspicious transaction.

Since then, air up has successfully launched in Germany, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria and the Netherlands, with more than one million customers already. Now Lena and the team are bringing this innovative way to drink water to the UK.

Where can I buy one?

air up’s reusable water bottles are available from their website. Including one bottle and three scent pods, is priced at £29.99 to £34.99 depending on the colour of the bottle. Each additional pack of three pods (flavouring a minimum of 15 litres of water) then costs between £5.99 to £8.99, depending on the flavour.

“Most of the time, a cybercriminal’s motive is to steal a customer’s money, or personal information such as bank details, login credentials, personal address.

Below, Wealth of Geeks share 10 of the most common Black Friday/Cyber Monday scams that catch shoppers out and how to spot them ahead of the big weekend.
1.
2. 1. Incorrect bank details scam

One of the most common is scammers emailing shoppers to say their billing information is incorrect, and that it needs changing immediately or the order will be void.

If a retailer asks you to change your bank details with urgency and claims there is a risk of losing out on an order you have made, then you should be suspicious.

Essentially, they are hoping to draw you into entering your bank details into a fake website that they have made to look real.

While Black Friday weekend is full of hot deals, certain popular items are advertised on fake websites that are generally hard to find.

These items turn out to be illegitimate and it will result in you paying for a product you will never receive- and the scammer now possesses your payment details.

If you come across an item like this, check the legitimacy of the product or the seller through Business Bureau who will verify.

4. 3. Phishing emails
