Shopping Safety Tips - Safety Tips For Shopping Online
The Internet is an intriguing tool that not only puts a great amount of information at your fingertips but expands your shopping options like never before. Now, with only a few clicks of your mouse, you can go online to buy just about anything you need or desire. Shopping online stores can be fun, easy, very accessible and economical, but just as in the bricks and mortar world, some precautions should be taken.
A consumer safety tip about shopping online stores...
You should only give your credit card information in a secure connection on a web site, NEVER in ordinary e-mail.
So how do you tell if the Internet connections are secure when shopping online stores?
Many online shopping sites use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt the credit card information that you send them over the World Wide Web. These online shopping sites usually inform you they are using this technology, but always check if the web address on the page that asks for your credit card information begins with "https:" instead of "http:"; if so, then this technology is in place.
Another security technology used by online stores is Secure Electronic Transaction technology. SET or SSL technologies are both designed to make your connection secure.
Some other ways to tell whether an online store uses security software:
- The icon of a lock is visible on the status bar (Microsoft Internet Explorer®)
- The icon of a locked padlock is visible at the bottom of the screen (Netscape Navigator™)
- The icon of an unbroken key is visible at the bottom of the screen (Netscape Navigator™)
