You may be apprehensive about shopping online? Why? It could be the rate of phishing, internet scams etc which is raising these concerns. How do you protect your payment or any information divulged on the internet? It is simple, apply for a 3d secure pass word from your bank through which you are doing all the financial transactions while shopping. Once, this is requested, you can type your favourite statement which appear every time you shop online as if to reassure you that it is safe. Any time you shop you will be asked to type this pass word and if you see your statement appearing you are safe.

In case the product delivered to you does not match what was displayed on the shopping site, then you can file a case in the resolution centre. This is a platform which brings together both the supplier and purchaser. They can communicate in the presence of a customer support and make sure that all the transactions are carried out online and not offline. If it is carried out offline, then there is no proof of the communication. Once, the problem is resolved and the supplier agrees to send a better product he can close the case. ...
... If it is not resolved by the supplier then under the consumer protection act, you will be reimbursed your amount.

What ever transaction you carry out has to be done on the same site. This provides enough proof of what you have communicated and your money will be protected. You will be paid back the whole amount and the supplier will have a poor rating which will further affect his account. Hence, he will never again try to deceive another person like the way he did to you. Be aware of all your rights and know how to deal with a situation like this. Cyber crimes are very common and should not be overlooked. You should always take precautions before you make any transaction over the web. This makes it hard for anyone to see and steal your information. Some websites have fake yellow locks on their websites to make their sites look secure. In order to see if a lock is authentic, you should click on the lock. A pop-up window should appear verifying its authenticity.

Always check for anti virus updates on your system. This will prevent hackers from entering your system and hacking all the bank information and other confidential details. This way you can have safe transactions!
