Black Friday 2023: When it falls - What to look out for

Black Friday, or Black Friday, is usually defined as the fourth Friday of November, but always follows Thanksgiving Day in the US (23/11). This year the day of great deals will "fall" on Friday, November 24, 2023.

The institution of Black Friday started in America and began to spread slowly to European countries as well. The first time the term Black Friday was used was on September 24, 1869 to describe one of the worst days of the American stock market. Afterwards, the term was used again with a positive meaning. In the US, Black Friday is always the Friday after Thanksgiving.

What to watch out for:

1. Watch out for would-be scammers and fraudulent practices
2. Read the terms of use in the online stores and ask about the guarantees in the physical stores
3. Watch out for impulse buying behavior before you make a transaction
4. Beware of unknown or new online businesses
5. Beware of misleading offers
6. Be very careful when providing sensitive personal information
7. Don't be swayed by unusually low prices or offers
8. Coupons and giftcards
9. Check the security policy in electronic transactions
10. Agree on the product delivery date
