It's really not that hard. Here's the key points from that article, but please do read all of it and protect yourself with advance knowledge:

Black Friday do’s and don’ts
Do:

Only buy from brands you know and trust

Check URLs match official retailers’ sites

Look for contact details and return policies

Ask yourself if you’re feeling pressured

Keep your software up to date

Check your bank and credit card statements regularly and keep an eye out for suspicious transactions

Double-check offers on official retailers’ sites or apps.

Don’t:

Click on links from ads or emails – enter web addresses manually

Pay by bank transfer – always use a trusted payment method like a debit or credit card

Shop on social media

Respond to requests on text or email for additional information or to pay further charges.
