Safety When Buying Online (Internet Banking or Credit Cards)

June 13, 2010
Now, we can go out for internet life, also online transaction. Many people having troubles when buying online and the highest problem is account fraud especially when you use a credit card for online payment.
How to be safe when buying online?
Choose internet sites wisely. Do business only with companies you know and trust, and make sure the sites have secure servers.

Legitimate paying sites offer privacy policies and will only need the credit cardholder's name, card number, expiration date and three digits pin to process transaction.

Choose a password that is not easy related back to you. Protect yourself by not telling your password to anyone,regardless if the request is made online, or by a family member or close friend.

Protect yourself against online identity theft. Be wary of any email asking you to provide account-related information. Learn to recognise spoof email - your bank will never ask for confidential information via email. Delete any suspicious email and do not open suspicious attachments even if they appear to be from someone you know.
