Millions of people around the world are enjoying the convenience and fun of shopping on the Internet.
Smart cybershoppers will continue to take sensible precautions, just as they have always done when making purchases over the telephone or even at shops.
To minimize any risk associated with using credit cards, here are some 'common sense' practices to keep in mind:
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Only give your card details when making purchases - do not provide them for any other reason.
Never send payment information via email, information that travels over the internet like email, is not fully protected from being read by outside parties.
All reputable merchant sites use encryption technologies that will protect your private data from being read by others as you conduct an online transaction.
Never provide your credit card number as proof of your age.
At times, certain merchants may request that you provide your credit card number as a proof of age.
Never give a merchant this information, because a card number does not verify one's age.
