In response to the increasing prevalence of online marketplace fraud, SIGNIS India has organized an educational webinar titled “Cyber Safe: Stay Aware of Online Marketplace Scams.” The virtual event is scheduled for April 16, 2025, at 7:00 PM India time.
The timely webinar aims to equip participants with essential knowledge and practical strategies to navigate online marketplaces safely. With the dramatic rise in e-commerce and digital transactions following global shifts in shopping habits, scammers have developed increasingly sophisticated methods to target unsuspecting consumers.

As an educator with expertise in cybersecurity, Dr. Jerald is expected to cover critical topics, including standard scamming techniques, red flags in listings, secure payment practices, and steps to take if victimized by fraud.
“The digital marketplace offers unprecedented convenience but also creates opportunities for deception,” notes SIGNIS India in its announcement. This webinar addresses the urgent need for consumer education in an increasingly complex online shopping environment.”
Participants can expect to learn about verification methods for legitimate sellers, techniques to identify counterfeit products, and strategies to protect personal and financial information when engaging in online transactions.
