Scammers Will Get You With Online Shopping

By News Minder at 05/22/08 09:38

Be careful who you trust online. I have a friend who got scammed online because she thought an online company that she had purchased office supplies from was asking for info about her order. They asked her to supply personal information in order to verify her order.

First of all, never provide information like that through an email. If a company asks for info like that there is something wrong because they should have asked for it when the order was first placed.

So be wary of email from places that you have bought things from in the past. Scammers are getting pretty clever. For more information read this article The Barnstable Patriot 2.0 - It isn’t paranoia – they really are out to get you!.
