The holidays are around the corner. Have you started shopping yet? Whether you have or haven’t yet decided to dive in, this post is for you.
Have you ever received the Christmas wish list from the kids and significant other and wondered, “Now where in the world am I supposed to find this?” I have, and I went right to my favorite search engine to look it up. A list of all the places that sold items x, y, and z were laid out right in front of me. I just need to pick one and shop away, right? Absolutely not!
Exercise extreme caution when shopping on any website. Here are a few things to look for:
- Is it secure? There should be a padlock to the left of the website address, or the address should start with https://. Do not enter credit card information on a site missing these features.
- Is the website legit? Check the site name. https://crownedcomputerservices.tech is a legitimate site. https://crownedcomputerservices.newsite2.tech should be questioned before entering any information.
- Anyone can create a website for a company. Use your favorite search engine to look for reviews that would verify authenticity. If you decide to purchase and receive your product, leave a review to help others.
Happy shopping!
