- Hacking into computers and taking stored details of credit cards
- Retail merchants or their staff keeping copies of your credit card details to use them unlawfully
- Internet website credit card generator, a dummy site set-up to collect credit card details
- Skimming machines that record credit card details at retail merchants or on ATMs
- Sourcing discarded copies of credit card vouchers via waste bins
Tips to shopping safely online
- Shop with online businesses you know by reputation or recommendation
- Look for a physical address or landline number on the site and check the number is working
- Send an email to the site to see if this is active
- Search for the name of the site or business on a major search engine for positive feedback and recommendations
- Look at the address bar in your browser to see if the site appears genuine, as there are numerous instances of sites being set up as mirrors of real sites
- When on the purchase page check to see if the site uses a secure socket layer by checking if there is an "s" after http. The sites address should start as follows "https://" the s indicates a secure socket layer is in use to protect your details.
- Remember, unlike secure order forms on a web site, e-mail messages are not private. Never send confidential, personal or financial information by e-mail.
- Read the privacy policy to ensure you are comfortable with how the business collects, protects, and uses your personal information before you submit any details. Be very wary of sites with no privacy policy.
- Read the terms and conditions of the contract to make sure you understand the delivery options/charges, return policy, and product or service warranty. For international transactions, ensure you are aware of the current exchange rate and any applicable duties and taxes.
