Online
Shopping Safety Tips
| Know who you're
dealing with |
|
 |
Any person can start an online
shopping store, so be sure confirm the online
seller's physical address and phone number
in case you have questions or problems. |
|
Do
not reply to a mail or a pop up while you
are browsing the internet, that asks for personal
financial information. Do not reply or click
on the link in the message. Legitimate companies
don't ask for this information via email. |
|
| Know exactly what
you're buying and its price |
|
|
Be sure to check the seller's
description of the product closely, especially
the fine print. If the item is described as
"refurbished," "vintage,"
or "close-out" it may indicate that
the product is in less-than-new condition.
Branded products with unbelievably low prices
could be counterfeits. |
|
It is best to speak live to
a real person before buying, especially if
you have any questions. If a web site doesn't
provide a phone number or live chat facility,
then you probably shouldn't do business there. |
|
| Use credit card
instead of debit card |
|
|
Debit transactions are riskier
than credit ones because a criminal can immediately
drain your bank account. The money is spent
quickly, so the transgression is harder to
fight. |
|
A credit card theft is not
as disastrous, as your credit card company
can help you resolve the matter. Use the same
credit card if you have more than one. If
you still have reservations about giving out
your credit card number online, then use third-party
escrow services such as PayPal. |
|
| Keep a record of
your transactions |
|
|
Print and save records of your
online transactions, including the product
description and price, the online receipt,
and copies of every email you send or receive
from the seller. |
|
Read your credit card statements
as you receive them and be on the lookout
for unauthorized charges. |
|
| Don't email your
financial/personal information |
|
Email is not a secure
method of transmitting financial information
like your credit card, checking account,
or Social Security number. |
|
Usually legitimate web
sites won’t ask you to give out
personal information such as your social
security number (SSN) and/or birth date.
By giving out both your birth date and
SSN, you can give criminals enough data
to apply for new credit cards in your
name. |
|
|
| Check the privacy
policy |
|
It should let you know
what personal information the website
operators are collecting, why, and how
they're going to use the information. |
|
If you can't find a
privacy policy or if you can't understand
it, consider taking your business to
another site that's more consumer-friendly. |
