Top 10 E-Consumer tips |
from the California Department of Consumer Affairs
Some good tips for purchasing over the internet from http://www.dca.ca.gov/e_consumer/
-
Pick a Card - Just One Card
Using just one credit card when buying online lets you track your purchases. Use a card with a low credit limit to lower your risk. Don't use an ATM
or debit card.
- Know the E-business
Use only reputable e-businesses with a street address and phone number, so you can contact them directly with your questions.
-
Read the Privacy Policy - Big Browser is Watching
Don't assume you're anonymous. Web sites can track your browsing activities. Read the e-business's privacy policy before you type in any personal
information. Look for opportunities to "opt-out" of letting the company send you marketing communications or share your personal information with
others.
-
Lock In Security
When buying online, look for an unbroken lock symbol in the status bar at the bottom of your Web browser and "https" at the beginning of the Web
site address. This means your personal information is encrypted or scrambled so no one can read it during transmission.
- Avoid E-Voyages of No Return
Before you buy, review the company's return policy, product warranty and delivery information provided on the Web site. Call the company directly if
you have further questions.
-
Don't Lose Your Sense of Identity
Think twice before providing personal information such as your Social Security number, which can be the key that opens the door to identity theft.
If you provide personal information, check that the Web site address starts with "https" and your browser displays the lock symbol.
- Kids Can Be Cool Consumers
Children should check with a parent before giving out personal or family information online. Parents should talk to kids about privacy issues.
Make
the Internet a family affair.
- Keep a Paper Trail
Remember to keep a record of all online transactions.
-
Can't Get No Satisfaction?
If you don't get what you paid for, contact the e-business. If you're not satisfied, call your credit card company and the Department of Consumer
Affairs at 1-800-952-5210.
-
If It Sounds Too Good to be True ...
Say "scram" to scams by steering clear of get-rich-quick pitches and false advertising claims. A slick-looking site might be bogus, so don't judge a
company by its homepage.
