Shopping Online
There’s growing interest in the Internet as a place to shop. But this type of shopping has its own dangers, and the rules of smart shopping are as important in the electronic marketplace as they are on your doorstep.
One problem is that consumers have little control over what happens to personal information used when shopping online. Each transaction leaves an information trail that can be used by hackers and other unauthorized individuals to assemble financial and personal profiles on you. This information can be sold or stolen and used for criminal purposes. You have every right to feel vulnerable when your credit card number and other financial information go sailing into cyberspace.
Please review our helpful advice and understand your rights before you make a purchase online.
