SHOPPERS looking to snap up an air fryer are being warned to look out for scams.
The devices are growing in popularity as people look to to cut cooking costs this winter.
The company behind one popular air fryer brand has told shoppers to beware of scams around the device.
Ninja, which also makes blenders, grills and soup makers, said it was aware of fake websites pretending to flog the popular cooking gadget.
They promise the air fryer at a very cheap price – but they are criminals wanting to steal your cash.
After purchasing the item, it will never turn up leaving you out of pocket.
And they could even trick you into sharing your personal details and financial information that could be used to steal more cash.
The fake websites can be used as part of phishing campaigns, where criminals appear to be from legitimate companies, but are trying to get your details.
A spokesperson for Ninja said: “Following an unprecedented surge in demand for Ninja products, particularly our air fryers, we have become aware of a rise in fraudulent websites appearing to offer our products at greatly reduced prices.
“We would recommend any new or existing customers only purchase goods through the official Ninja website () or via a reputable retail partner to ensure you receive our 5 star rated products as ordered.”
If a price is too good to be true, it usually is, so beware jumping on a deal…
