Use a secure browser. A browser is the software used to search and browse the Internet. Your browser should comply with SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) standards which scramble the personal information entered on a particular website on the Internet. Nearly all computers have a browser preinstalled - you are probably looking at Shop4Deals right now on a secure browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer. You can also download browsers free on the Internet. We recommend Opera -www.opera.com.  Check that the website is secure . You can ensure that your details are being scrambled and encrypted before you make your purchase by making sure that at the bottom of your browser a small yellow padlock is displayed. This means that your details are safe from third-parties and will stop your order from being intercepted. Keep your passwords safe and private. Be imaginative with your choice of passwords and don’t pass your password on to anyone. Avoid using obvious passwords such as places, birth dates and names. This will make it too easy for somebody to guess your password. The most secure method is to use a combination of letters and numbers uniquely chosen by you. Paying by credit or debit card. when paying by credit card, the issuing bank will often offer fraud protection. It is worth checking with the card issuer since some cards give an online shopping guarantee that ensures you will not be held responsible for any unauthorised charges made online, and some cards may also provide additional warranty, return or purchase protection benefits. Keep records. Be sure to keep a note or copy of the purchase order and confirmation number. This will offer proof to the company in the unlikely event of them not acknowledging your order. |
