How To Protect Yourself From Internet Scams!
The internet age has been here for awhile��. and so have hackers, thieves, criminals, internet burglars; whatever you choose to call them �C they exist!
Very often people fall victim to fraud by unscrupulous people with clever tricks used to ��steal�� personal information, bank records, credit card numbers and more.
What many people don��t know, is that there are several ways to protect yourself, and virtually eliminate any chances of being ��ripped off�� by an internet hoodlum,spyder boys ski jacket!
The following prevention methods can be implemented by any adult who is able to browse the internet, and should ALWAYS be practiced. Here are several tips:

-----------


1. ) Do not pay bills or conduct online transactions dealing with the exchange of money or banking, on public computers such as those in libraries, internet cafes etc. Also, do NOT
pay bills or conduct online transactions while using a ��public�� network. It is much easier for thieves to access information that exists on a network that has no security/encryption,
and when financial activity is conducted on public computers that are used by ��everyone, �� ��financial Russian Roulette�� is played. Dangerous!!



2. ) Do not conduct financial transactions on websites that aren��t ��secure. �� How do you know when a website is secure? One determining factor is HTTP,tory burch outlet, and HTTPS.
HTTP stands for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol, and HTTPS stands for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure. When browsing the internet, your web browser includes an HTTP or HTTPS,
prior to the web address (for instance: http: //www. webscams. com) When you enter a secure website, that address would (hypothetically) show as: https: //www. webscams. com.
(Notice the ��S�� in that address? ) HTTPS is the protocol that provides encryption (i. e. protection) and secures the identification of the user.

HTTPS is often, but not ALWAYS used, in payment transactions that take place on the internet. Get to know your internet browser; many newer browsers display a warning across the window and many display the site��s security info in the address bar. Most browsers also pop up with a warning notice to the user, when they attempt to visit a site that contains a mix of unencrypted and encrypted content. In summary, HTTP is insecure and is subject to attacks, while HTTPS withstands said attacks, and is secure. (there are many more factors involved in security/encryption that may be addressed in another article)



3. ) Use PayPal when possible! Did you know that Paypal (www. paypal. com) is virtually THE most secure payment processing website/merchant currently on the internet?
When a company accepts Paypal, it is always advisable to pay using Paypal as opposed to the company��s merchant. Paypal is a very secure merchant, and many companies that sell
online actually uses Paypal��s security methods when creating security standards for their websites. **Beware of ��########�� Paypal sites i. e.: www. paypalcompany. com or www. mypaypal. com,
www. paymentpals. com, etc. (those sites are examples only and in the event that any of the aforementioned website��s are actual ��legit�� websites, please accept our apologies and change your website��s name! )



4. ) Do NOT pay your bills and access your bank account(s) etc, while using the computer(s) at your place of employment! Why you ask? Believe it or not,supra footwear uk, there are unscrupulous people
who work in IT departments, and who may use your information for fraudulent purposes. Most employers heavily monitor their employees�� internet usage, and most if not all people
who are employed and use computers daily �C know this fact. For instance, you decide to log onto www. wellsfargo. com to balance your checkbook online. You are prompted to enter
your user name and password to access the site. There are many scenarios that can occur, which could be devastating to your finances which include:

a. ) Your employer has a ��key-logger�� installed on your computer, to track what you type; your passwords, user names etc. The key-logger also catches your account information as you type it into your online bank. NOT GOOD!

b. ) Your employer requests that the IT department keep an indefinite ��usage history�� for internet browsing. The internet history contains which sites you visited, when you visited them,
what you clicked on during your visit; and lastly �C constant SNAPSHOTS (or pictures) of the website during your visit. Guess what?... YOUR account information is included in that snapshot,puma sneakers sale, in the exact form that it showed when you viewed it! BAD!!

c. ) You decide to log onto www. wamu. com to check your account balance. When you are finished, a co-worker runs to your desk asking you to come with them to lunch.
You close down your browser, but you don��t log out of your account, or your computer. A temporary employee is instructed by your supervisor, to use your computer while you are
at lunch. He opens the browser on your PC, goes to ��History�� and notices www. wamu. com, was you��re the last page viewed. He clicks on the link and VOILA��the browser opens up
and your account information is staring him in the face. How did that happen? You never logged out of your session. HORRIBLE!!!
