Shopping online has become very popular these days. Shopping can be
really fun when you have the great and huge selections of different
products. If so, here are my tips:
· Read the site’s privacy policy to learn how it uses and shares your
personal information. Be aware that there are many online stores that
sell your personal information.
· Shop at Secure Web Sites. Check if the site uses an encryption
technology to transfer information from your computer to the online
merchant’s computer. Encryption scrambles the information you send to
prevent hackers from stealing the code. Look for the padlock icon on the
browser, not on the web page.
· Secure your computer with anti-virus, anti-spyware, firewall and others
· Use a credit card. Don’t you know that the safest payment method to
use online is credit card? If anything goes wrong, you have the right
to dispute charges and withhold payments on your credit card. You are
protected under the Federal Fair Credit Billing Act.
