Tips to make your online purchases safer
Type the name of the merchant website in the browser.
Make sure the site has a closed lock icon at the top or bottom of the browser.
Verify that the address of the business says HTTPS and not HTTP. If it doesn't have the S, the site is not secure.
Check that the site has contact information, a return policy and a refund policy.
Search for reviews by other users to find out about their experiences with the merchant.
After the product is added to the shopping cart, the site may ask for your card information.

Security tips
How to keep your data secure?
Do not use the same password that you use in your home banking to access other services such as email or chat.
Do not use easily guessed personal information such as family names, birth dates, anniversaries, or phone numbers.
Never write down the password: if you really have to record it, keep it in a safe place.
Change your password frequently.
