 |  No Comments

These are some really simple ways to shop safely online you can use every day:

  1. Make sure the website is secure (padlock https)
  2. Keep software and virus protection up-to-date
  3. Use strong passwords for online accounts.
  4. Don’t use public wi-fi.
    Your mobile data connection is more secure.
  5. Research retailers online to make sure they’re legitimate
    Big brands are easy to recognise
    Market places make this easy to shop where you trust (eg Amazon, eBay, etc)
  6. Be smart. If a deal looks too good to be true, it probably is.
  7. Know your rights and the company’s returns policy.
  8. Pay using a credit card. You’ll have more protection.
    Or use online services such as PayPal – so scammers can’t get hold of your bank details
