Here are some helpful tips to keeping your identity and financial information safe while shopping online.
• Use a secure Internet connection while making online purchases. A secure connection will have an “S” after the “http” web address and a closed lock icon.
• Beware of using a public computer as your information will be stored in its history and the computer may not be free of viruses or malware.
• Research the online business you plan to purchase from and confirm their physical address and phone number in case you need to contact them.
• Consider using an online payment service, such as PayPal, or your credit card, which protects your transaction under the Fair Credit Billing Act. Many companies do not hold consumers responsible for unauthorized charges made online and some card issuers may provide additional protection benefits.
• Save any transaction or confirmation numbers from the Internet purchases and make a note of the time and contents of the order.
• Review the privacy policy of the online business and request they not share your personal information.
