Online shopping is easy, convenient and you can get great deals. In today's world, shipping charges are lower and delivery is fast.  Best of all, you don't even have to leave home, or your couch. 

Shop Safely Online

However, you do need to be careful online. Online shopping scams can be costly and lead to huge losses. Here are a few tips to help you shop safely online:

• Only shop at reputable online merchants that you trust.
• When shopping or banking look for secure websites, https instead of http, look for a lock on the left side of the hyperlink.
• Don’t click on links in email or on social media unless you’re 100% certain they are legitimate, even if it looks like a really great deal. 
• Monitor your online financial accounts, bank account and credit cards.
• Think before you click, certain transactions cannot be reversed.
• Be wary of deals that are too good to be true.
• Set up strong passwords for your online shopping accounts. 
• Review your order carefully for correct address before paying.
• Make sure you sign out of the website when you have finished shopping.
• Do some research before donating to online causes.

We hope that you will have an enjoyable experience shopping online this year for that special gift for your loved ones.
