The Best Time to Buy Anything During the Year

Did you know that there is a particular time of the year or season which is ideal for the purchase of an item?

This is because the prices remain low during those periods when you compare the prices to other seasons or months in the year. Except for a few items which tend to be in demand throughout the year, most are seasonal or cyclical in nature and see a variation in their prices over the year.

The word ‘phishing’ refers to the process of sending out emails to people, pretending to be from reputable companies. Most of them carry a link, that when clicked, takes the user to a page that the phishers themselves have created. This looks very much like the original (the official webpage of the company that the email purports itself to be from), so there is very little suspicion in the minds of those who have clicked on the link in the email. The page then captures sensitive user data, such as credit card numbers and/or bank account numbers and passwords, which the phishers then use to their advantage.
