The ABC's of Shopping Online!
Since the beginning of On-line shopping there has been much skepticism about how safe it really is. The fact of the matter is shopping On-line is just as safe as shopping at the mall. However, are you taking the right steps to ensure you are shopping safely? There are several resources available to help you protect yourself.
You must check your sources whether you are at an On-line auction or using a comparison-shopping site. You wouldn't give your credit card to some stranger on the street. So don't give it to some strange website that has no credentials.
Listen in as Ken, Brandon, & Michal brief you about On-line shopping dangers, safety, and protection!
