KEEPING YOU SAFE

A quick note concerning my last entry concerning the Pin Number Reversal - it has been varified and it DOES NOT WORK! pooh ~

However - this entry is promoting common sense and it alway works...

This year, millions will use the Internet for some portion of their holiday shopping. And with it comes a surge in online crime. Surrounded by the familiar comforts of home, it’s easy to lose sight of this.

So, here are some tips to make your online transactions safe:

-Keep your Internet security software completely up-to-date.

-Always check the wireless network you connect to is secure. Free wireless hot spots are not always safe.

-Password-protect your computer, PDA, and other digital equipment.Make your password memorable but not easy to decipher. Don’t base it on your name, email address or birthday. Also, if you write down your passwords, never leave them in plain sight or in easy-to-find places near your computer terminal.

-Know your merchants. Make sure their Web site is legitimate… When entering sensitive data, see to it the web address starts with "https" and look for a small picture of an unbroken key or closed lock in the bottom right area of your browser window. Without these, don’t transact online.

-Use one credit card with a low limit and if possible never use a debit card - or anything requiring you give a pin #. If you have the option of credit or debit - USE CREDIT. If your credit card number gets stolen, you won’t lose more than $50.

-Consider Bill Me Later as ways to pay without using a credit card.

-After the holidays, watch your credit card statements carefully for a few months. Verify you made all of the purchases listed.

-NEVER use public computers to shop online!!! (like - duhh)

PIN NUMBER REVERSAL (GOOD TO KNOW)

If you should ever be forced by a robber to withdraw money from an ATM machine, you can notify the police by entering your Pin # in reverse. For example if your pin number is 1234 then you would put in 4321. The ATM recognizes that your pin number is backwards from the ATM card you placed in the machine. The machine will still give you the money you requested, but unknown to the robber, the police will be immediately dispatched to help you. This information was recently broadcast on FOX TV and it states that it is seldom used because people don't know it exists.
