Never use your debit card, give banking information, or use a check for online purchases. This could lead to a disaster later on. Instead use a pay pal account or prepaid debit card to secure your personal information from roaming thieves. Minimize the risk of identity theft always. Prove security of the website which you are on making purchases.
Always be diligent and safe. Protect yourself by using only reliable websites that are known by you, your family members, or your friends. After making purchases make sure to check your banking account statement or online banking for any fraudulent activity that might be suspicious. Never give part of your life to those who want to steal your identity. Always be prepared for the unexpected. Never get too comfortable with any website and let your guard down.
The Most two noticeable threats of fraud are
1. Merchant Identity Theft. 2. Consumer Identity Theft.
Remember it is your life and it's up to you decide how you will protect it when making a purchase online. Your consumer identity is very important and being safe is better than being broke! This is real and not a joke! Beware of wolves in sheep clothing, sometimes it is hard to tell the difference.
