The Internet has brought about many changes, including in how we shop.

0:00:11.316,0:00:16.832
We don't have to waste so much time, in overly tight schedules just to buy for our needs.

0:00:17.918,0:00:25.349
Trying to find a plane ticket? Clothes? Shoes? Accessories? Even food? Just browse and click on the Internet.

0:00:25.982,0:00:27.279
It's easy and more efficient.

0:00:28.431,0:00:35.696
But with this comfort that's offered by online shopping, are we aware that there are risks?

0:00:36.724,0:00:40.451
Mainly when we conduct the digital transactions, buying things.

0:00:41.088,0:00:45.342
So how do you stay safe when shopping online? Here are tips for that.

0:00:46.940,0:00:49.021
First, be conscientious before buying things.

0:00:49.938,0:00:53.547
Try to compare prices between goods that sell in one place with another.

0:00:54.666,0:00:58.049
If there's a huge difference or if it's uncommon, please be careful.

0:01:01.734,0:01:03.242
Second, investigate the seller.

0:01:04.362,0:01:09.721
If you've never done online shopping in one of those online shops, check its validity.

0:01:10.852,0:01:17.548
Check on Internet for other peoples' testimonies, make sure there's a valid contact address and can be reached

0:01:17.945,0:01:22.305
if you have questions or problems regarding the buying.

0:01:23.789,0:01:27.207
Remember: don't transfer money to the seller if you're not yet sure.

0:01:28.292,0:01:34.398
If possible, use Cash On Delivery (COD).

0:01:35.339,0:01:37.835
Third, be careful of phishing.

0:01:40.014,0:01:45.028
Phishing is a criminal activity to steal private and important information from you.

0:01:45.028,0:01:48.207
For example, login accounts or credit card numbers.

0:01:49.124,0:01:51.782
These kinds of activities are usually connected to financial activities.

0:01:52.756,0:01:56.260
The criminal can falsify a reliable online shopping website

0:01:56.260,0:02:05.678
such as s bank, online shop, or website owned by a popular company to con users to input their private information.

0:02:08.071,0:02:11.376
Check again the domain names in the browser address bar.

0:02:12.499,0:02:13.375
Phishing attacks.

0:02:14.685,0:02:17.202
Generally it's also waged through emails by saying that it is an important email.

0:02:17.544,0:02:24.791
Immediately contact your bank if there's a possibility that you've already input your information into such websites.

0:02:27.161,0:02:30.882
Check the policy of delivery and return of their products.

0:02:31.964,0:02:36.433
Before you buy it please make sure you've already understood the sellers' policy.

0:02:37.823,0:02:43.323
After that, save all of this information along with the transfer data either as a digital or printed copy.

0:02:43.986,0:02:49.432
This will help us in case we need to return the products or deny certain unbased claiming from seller.
