Credit Card Shopping Online. How To Stay Safe And What To Do If It All Goes Wrong
For that perfect gift, many of us will turn to the internet and our credit card for shopping at Christmas
And who can blame us, rather than taking a freezing stroll down the high street, web shopping is easy – and warm!
But before you tap your card details into your PC, think about how safe this is. A great looking website does not always mean a great deal. Anyone can set up a website so be careful when you shop online, especially if you’re new to it.
Safe sites have padlocks
Online nasties prey on first time users so think before you buy. Try to use companies you have heard of or which a friend can vouch for. The likes of Amazon and big online high street chains are a safe bet. Look at websites which have a secure way of paying.
A safe website should have a padlock key at the bottom of the screen which you can see when you’re filling in your personal info. A padlock means the page is secure and you’re safe to give them your details. If this is not there then you may want to ditch that site.
Privacy pages bare all
