Purchasing products online (tangible products, ebooks or
other materials) must be done with utmost cautions, which implies that you do
not just run after anything that is flagged online without proper inquiry.
Here are some tips to safeguard your online buying.
1. Verify the site- It is important to make the necessary
search about the site you are buying from,
to ascertain your level of confidence before putting your
money.
2. Manage your investment- Invest only the amount that you can reasonably afford
incase your purchase is not successful or the product is not real. The amount
you can assume missing.
3. Using your credit
card, ensure you make proper and regular check of your account balance,
also ensure there is not setting in such a way that your account will just be
flying without your concepts. That is why I do suggest that you should only
service the account when the need arises to use for online buying. I do
appreciate opening a special account for these transactions.
Be conscious never to give out your account secrete that are
particular to you. If any site makes a request of such, please beware and run
as much as you can from them. That is, do not disclose information related to
your credit card PIN, its personal!
4. Control your emotions- do not be freaked by the promises
or the way the site is flagging money, the rich quick promises may land you
into debt or make you bankrupts. Control your appetite for easy or shortcut to
making money. In responding to adverts in these manner think twice, do not rush
into any purchase.
