There are so many information written on the internet today about safe online shopping and how to avoid being a victim of fraud and identity.One of the most important ways to avoid this, as agreed by all the writters is,to"shop at online trusted retailers".

We have selected some of the most trusted online retail merchants in our featured stores.By transacting online business with any of these stores,you can rest be assured that you can shop with confidence and peace of mind and that your identity will never be intercepted by any of the online hackers.

Some of these stores operate globally while others operate only within the U.S and also have physical locations.Some offer online savings coupons but you can ask about this offer before you begin shopping with your chosen store.Some allow you to compare different prices before you make a purchase and intrestingly,others give you the opportunity to sell some of your unwanted  products either used or new,to make extra income.

SAFETY TIPS - Here are some of the safety tips to help you shop safely on the internet.

1. Most important,shop only at internet merchants stores you know.We have identified some of the most trusted ones in our featured stores.If still unsure,feel free to check with the Better Business Bureau.

2. Look for signs of security usually displayed on the lower part of the merchant's home page. Protect your private information while shopping online.Some signs of security include a padlock in the status bar at the bottom of the browser window,an internet address (URL) that starts with https:// rather than http://. All information being transmitted using https:// are encrypted,which is a form of security.Most browsers have a lock sign at the bottom of the home page;an indication that https is being used.Also the word SSL Secure Socket Layer appearing in the bottom of the window is also a sign of security.These signs indicate that only you and the merchant can view your transactions and payment information. Some third-party signs such as Verisign Secured,TRUSTED,appearing in the bottom of the home page are equally reliable signs of security.

3. Learn how to create a password that is not easily hacked.

4. Never share your passwords with anyone.Use different password for different sites.

5. Do not provide your social security number,birthdate,or mother's maiden name in an

6. Protect yourself from "phishing".This is an e-mail that is intended to deceive you into thinking that its requesting information from a legitimate company when in fact,it is designed to get you to send information to identity thieves.

7. When making a purchase,use your credit card not a debit card.Reason being that a debit card donn't offer you the protection of the Fair Credit Billing Act which limits your liability to only $50 of the charges in the event that someone else fraudulently use your credit card.

8. Consider calling in the order if you feel uncomfortable entering your credit card infor- mation online.

9. Check the internet merchant's refund policies;some merchants set a deadline for returns or charge a fee to accept returned merchandise.

10. Print and keep information about your order online in case a dispute should arise at a later time.

11. Trust your instincts.If it sounds too good to be true it probably is.For example,a get rich quick offer.if you get a spam (an unsolicited e-mail) telling you that you can make thousands of dollars in a few days,it isn't true.Most likely it will cost you in the end.Donn't fall for this kind of offer.
