- Don’t trust a site just because it claims to be secure.
- Make sure you are purchasing merchandise from a reputable source.
- Make sure the transaction is secure when you electronically send your credit card number.
- Do your homework on the individual or company to ensure that they are genuine.
- If you are making online purchase from a previously unknown seller, try to obtain the physical address rather than a post office box and a phone number. Call the seller to see if the number is correct and working. Do not buy from sellers who won’t provide you with this type of information.
- Don’t judge a person/company by their website.
- Be cautious when responding to special offers (especially through unsolicited e-mail).
- Be cautious when dealing with individuals/companies from outside your own country.
