Six Habits for Safer Online Shopping
Online shopping is convenient, but it pays to be careful. These habits protect your money and personal information.
1. Check the address bar
Make sure the site uses HTTPS and the address is spelled correctly.
2. Look for real contact details
A real store lists a physical address, a phone number and clear return rules.
3. Be wary of “delivery problem” texts
Go to the store or carrier website yourself instead of clicking links in messages.
Three more habits
- Use a credit card or trusted payment service.
