Tips for Safe Online Shopping
Online shopping is trending right now since it enables people to shop from wherever they are, anywhere in the world. It saves time and money in terms of going to actual stores while sitting in traffic as the car mints gas. It also enables people to shop at any time comfortable to them, and anywhere in the world. There is also a world of comparison since one can quickly compare the same products sold in many different e-Commerce stores. This has therefore led to an increase in online scams as hackers and cons target shoppers. In this article, we are going to look at some tips for safe online shopping.
Use Familiar Websites
It is always better to go directly to online shopping stores that are reputable as compared to shopping directly through a web search. Sites like Amazon.com and eBay.com sell everything that you can find under the sun. scammers might try to alt the names a little in order to confuse you, or using domains like .net instead of .com.
Look for the Lock
Legitimate sites have a secure sockets layer (SSL) that is displayed in the URL, and you should never use your credit cards on sites that don’t have that smart lock. The URL’s start with HTTPS:// and not HTTP://, and there is an icon of a locked padlock will appear in the URL or the status bar. Another precaution is to never give your credit card details over email.
Don’t Tell All
Give out as little information as you can such as your social security number and date of birth, since the moment hackers get this information, they can easily steal your identity.
Check Statements
Always double check your statements. Don’t wait for them to be sent to you at the end of the month, even if they are from PayPal. You could easily get scammed and might not have noticed it. Look at all of your electronic statements for credit and debit cards as well as checking accounts.
