How can I protect myself while making online purchases?

A lot of being a savvy online consumer is common sense, but if you are new to the web and online buying you may not know the facts. Here are things to look for, before you enter your credit card number.

• Look for the secure transaction symbol on your screen before entering your credit card number. This will look like a padlock on the very bottom of your browser. Do not enter credit card information without seeing that symbol.
• The use of virus protection software and a personal firewall can go a long way toward protecting your information online.
• Use a credit card instead of a bank debit card. Credit cards generally have online credit protection.
• When you make a purchase online, get some proof that you did. Right click on the page that shows what you ordered and your information, select print. Keep the print out and record the date and time on it. If you don't receive your ordered items, you will know when you made the purchase and the order number.
• Try to determine if the company is genuine before ordering. Does it have brick and mortar stores? Does it have a good reputation? If you have never heard of the company, it does not necessarily mean not to order from them. But you should check them out a little further. You can contact The Better Business Bureau and The National Associations of Attorneys General online to investigate the company.

Buying online is generally safe, cost efficient, and easy, but just as in the real world, you need to protect yourself. When you buy from a road side dealer, you are a little more careful about the value and whether you can get your money back on an item. Since, Internet stores can be put up by anyone very easily, you need to exercise the same caution.
