HOW TO SHOP SAFELY ONLINE ??????......?????? (1) Use a Secure Web Browser - They scramble or encrypt your purchase information so that only you and the vendor can read it. Many online stores now sense whether or not your browser is secure and will help you proceed accordingly. DO NOT ORDER from online stores that do not offer secured transactions. (2) Keep Records - Most online stores will email you confirmation of your order. Print out and save these. (3) Check your credit card and bank statements - look for errors and purchases you did not make. If you find errors, call your credit card company or bank immediately. (4) Check the online stores policies - Look for disclosures about the Web sites security, refund and return policies, and statements about how the Web site will use your personal information. Look for links to About pages or FAQ pages. If a Web store says nothing about protecting your privacy, shop somewhere else. Online and Off - Protect Your Identity.............:- Never tell your password - to anybody, not even your Internet service provider. Other than to gain access, no legitimate service will ever ask you for your password. Watch what you download - Never download files, run programs or view graphics sent to you by strangers. Beware of clicking on URL links sent to you in email by people you do not know. Most Important of All - Keep Your Personal Information Private! Unless you know the people asking and why they are asking for it, never tell anyone your address, telephone number, Social Security number, email address or passwords.
