QUT Professor of Retail Marketing Gary Mortimer warns Australians of online “ghost stores” and Boxing Day scams.

“It’s expected we will spend about $1.6 billion today alone … we will do a lot of shopping online, watch out for those ghost stores,” Mr Mortimer told Sky News Australia.

“Ghost stores look like legitimate retail businesses; they usually populate your social media feed, but unfortunately, they’re AI-generated.

“So be very careful about putting your credit card details into a ghost store scam. “
