A fake deal is an offer built to take your money or your bank details and give you nothing back. The commonest signs are a price far below the high-street norm, a countdown or “last few left” message, a payment request outside the normal checkout, and a seller you cannot verify.

Dynamic pricing means adjusting prices rapidly and frequently in response to shifting demand, supply or timing rather than holding one fixed rate.
