Safe Online Shopping This Christmas
December 1, 2009
With over 32 million people using the credit cards on the web to do their shopping, the U.K. Payments Administration have advised the everyone of us should be doing what we can in order to prevent fraud happening.
Simple advice has been issued in order for credit card holders to make necessary procedures in order to protect themselves from fraud.
Logging out straight after making the transaction then saving the confirmation e-mails are very important in order to record what has been purchased. PC’s should have up to date protection such as anti virus software and the latest operating system.
Only sites with a good reputation should be used and these sites can be identified by looking for the padlock symbol.
Head of fraud control for The U.K. Cards Association, Kate Worobec, said “More of us than ever before will be doing our Christmas shopping online this year, and there is absolutely no reason why we shouldn’t be doing so in complete confidence.”
Finally, credit card holders should never reveal any details to any cold calls they receive.
