Protect Yourself From Internet Scams

 

It's buyer beware just as it is anywhere else. Never ever disclose your Social Security Number and steer clear of businesses that don't post their address and phone number. Ask for written information if you have doubts and make sure the web site has a security mode that encrypts credit card numbers. The Better Business Bureau, at www.bbbonline.org, certifies web businesses that meet its standards.
