I find that shopping on-line is very convenient. Taking a child out shopping and remembering a snack a toy or whatever you might need is enough trouble. Add another child and no snacks then you’re entering a big mess. I as do many moms get quite a headache while out shopping with both of my children. I also hate shopping from now until Christmas, just the traffic drives me insane. I get really grumpy going out with all of the attitudes. So I like to stay in and shop on-line. I use Amazon a lot because my husband feels that they have a very secure site.
F-Secure wants to make more families feel safe and secure about all of their on-line shopping.

3. Make sure any site is secure before entering account information
This is one thing I always make sure to do. This is something that I had no idea existed though:
4. Use virtual credit card numbers
Paypal, most banks and many credit card companies offer virtual credit card numbers to use while shopping online.

use virtual credit card numbers
Monitor your credit card and checking accounts.
This is very important because you can catch theft earlier and limit your damages.
Use virtual credit card numbers: Very interesting I never knew there was such a thing (well I knew about Paypal) I am checking with my bank today to see if they offer virtual cc Numbers.

“8. Be careful of digital signatures
In the United States and several other countries, a digital signature is the same as a physical signature. Entering a digital signature enters you into a legal contract. Make sure you’re ok with the consequences of your click before pressing submit.”
Make sure any site is secure before entering account information.
These tips are very, very useful! I like the one about the “Make sure any site is secure before entering account information”, whereby you check to make sure there’s an “s” after http. I never knew this. Very interesting and important.
Thanks so much.
I’m a subscriber. Thank again.
2. Monitor your credit card and checking accounts
Report any unauthorized use of your accounts to your bank or account holder at once.
Great idea because you never know when fraudulent charges will apppear.
I am very careful about giving out my social security numbers and keep a close check on my credit cards. Thanks for a great contest.
Practice Phishing
I always look for the little lock icon before I enter my information.
make sure any site you use is secure
Monitor your credit card and checking accounts
Practice Phishing- google ‘phishing quiz’ and then practice to better recognize the tricks that scammers use.
Thanks for the great giveaway!!!
Monitor your credit card and checking accounts! Thankfully, my hubby checks these frequently!

My favorite tip is to make sure the URL address includes an “s” after the http like this https:// before you share any information.

Make sure any site is secure before entering account information. Before you fill out any form, check the URL of the page you are on. You are looking for two things. First, make sure the address includes an “s” after the http like this https://. The extra “s” is for a secure connection. Then check to make sure that you are at a site you know and trust. Not sure if a site is legit? Google it or check it out on epinions.com or bizrate.com.
