How to make sure you shop online safely

The internet has radically changed the way we perceive and experience shopping. Online shopping offers users the unparalleled convenience of having things delivered to your door. But with all those stories about credit card fraud, how can consumers be sure that online shopping is safe?

Serious online shopping sites use high-end encryption technology – Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) – to protect the personal information you provide them with. In many cases shopping online is safer than giving your credit card information to a telephone operator.

Online shopping offers several great advantages, like saving time and money on transportation, parking and standing in line. It also offers smart consumerism options – shopping online offers easy, hassle-free price comparison; and since many times the merchandise you buy online is cheaper, even when considering delivery charges and VAT, you get better value for money.

The question is, how can you make sure you shop online safely? Here are some safety tips:

Choose a known website: Whenever possible, choose an online vendor you either know or heard about from a trusted source. There is ample information available online to help you decide whether to do business with a certain online supplier. Make sure you will be able to contact them in case something goes wrong with your order.

Protect your privacy: Take the time to read the website’s privacy policy. Make sure you are comfortable with the kind of information the online retailer is collecting, how they intend to use it and whether the reserve the right to share it. Look for seals of approval from privacy enforcement agencies and/or consumer protection groups.

Make sure the site uses safeguard technologies to protect the information you provide: When giving out personal or credit card information online, look for a padlock icon. That means the site uses encryption technology to protect your privacy.

Keep transaction records: Print or save any records related to your online shopping, so to easily keep track of shipping dates, shipping and handling fees, and other details relating to your transactions.

Just a rainy day

Just a rainy day

We've been waiting for it to really rain for a while now, and it finally started. And it gave true meaning to When it Rains, it Pours… so now I'm at home

Inside it's nice and warm, I made myself a nice hot cup of chocolate and settled down to read some of the news on the net. There was one story I found about two guys who decided to drive their car down a frozen canal, surprisingly (or not) they ended up swimming out of their car. Now, it was in the news because the rescue services didn't think it was so funny endangering themselves (though the photo of the policeman taking a photo of the accident with his cell phone might suggest otherwise…) . I guess the police know why they're doing it, but I don't think they should be taking them to court, they already received their punishment with their car sinking in the canal and a cold swim out.

Decided to check on some sports, and at the soma time get some good tickets for next week's match. So I logged onto onlineticketexpress.com to see what they were offering. I' quite happy I discovered this site, as onlineticketexpress.com has seats for every match, with good prices and you can get really great seats if you choose them. I tried it a few times before, and was more than satisfied.

It turns out onlineticketexpress.com has been around for a few years now, and in addition to sport events they have tickets for music concerts and for the theater. It's easy to order and pay, and you get the tickets within a few days. So I logged in and purchased my online tickets and got cozy reading about the team with the rain coming down outside.
I think I need another cup of cocoa now ;-)
