Security Tips | Online Shopping (E-Commerce)
Protecting Your Card Data
- Beware of Phishing: Don't click links in emails or texts from unknown sources. Verify website URLs before entering personal information. Look for "https://" in the address bar for secure connections.
- Use Secure Connections: Avoid public Wi-Fi for online shopping. Use a secure device with updated anti-virus software on your cellular network.
- Strong Passwords & MFA: Use unique, strong passwords for different accounts and enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) whenever possible.
- Scrutinize Online Stores: Only shop on trusted websites you know. Don't download software or enter information on unfamiliar websites. Be cautious of deals that seem too good to be true.
- Monitor Accounts: Regularly review bank statements and credit reports for suspicious activity. Sign up for purchase alerts to be notified of transactions.
Avoiding Scams
- Don't Give Personal Information: Never share your card details, one-time passwords, or other sensitive information through emails, texts, or unsolicited calls. Contact your bank directly using trusted contact information.
- Beware of Uncommon Payment Methods: Scammers often request untraceable payments like wire transfers, gift cards, or cryptocurrency. Be cautious of these methods.
- Research Before Donating: Verify charities on trusted websites before donating. Don't share personal information in response to unsolicited offers of help.
- Holiday Travel: Research travel companies and rentals thoroughly. Avoid clicking on travel ads from social media or unverified sources. Book through legitimate platforms and be wary of uncommon payment methods.
- Download Safely: Only download apps from trusted sources and research them before installing. Keep your device software updated.
