Re: Risks : when shopping online.
Hi
The power the Internet has given to the consumer is far more power than any seller has wanted to give. In fact, when the Internet hit its big-boom, sales and marketing divisions had to completely rethink their plans. Today, you can find anything online at extremely low prices from thousands of different websites. There are some risks involved when you shop online, though. Examine these risks before you ever think about buying anything online.
When you enter a website, you’ll want to know that it is secure. When a website is secure, it means that all your personal data will stay personal, and no one on the outside will be able to access this information. This includes your credit card number, name, address and sometimes your social security number. If you go shopping on a website that isn’t secure, your data may be out in the open for anyone to pick up and use.
Another risk with shopping online is that there are many website built just to phish account names and passwords. Many times, these websites look identical to major shopping sites like eBay or Amazon. If you enter your name and password on these websites, they will just use it to log into your real accounts, buy things, and steal your identity. You might not notice until you look at your credit card bill at the end of the month.
Products themselves can be falsified on websites. It is always important that you try and find the real product at a store and test it out before you make an impulse buy, another infraction made by online buyers. Buying without thinking or without hesitation may lead to some bad experiences down the road.The power the Internet has given to the consumer is far more power than any seller has wanted to give.
