BUY ONLINE: How You Can Protect Yourself. Thanks JIJI NG by carmine9(f): 2:35pm On Jul 18, 2017
Whether you are looking for a new mobile phone, want to move to a new house, or are planning to upgrade your laptop, there is always a small chance that you will come across a scammer. Here is what you can do to make sure your money and your identity stay completely safe.

1. Avoid paying for goods and services in advance, even if the seller claims he needs money for delivery.


2. If it’s too good to be true, it is likely a scam. If the price of the item is unbelievably low, or the salary in a job ad is unrealistically high, it’s better to leave such an ad out of attention.


3. Don’t share any of your personal information with the sellers on the Internet. Full name, banking and financial data, home address put you at risk of getting scammed.


4. If a seller asks for extra money when you’re trying to purchase an item or order a service, there’s a huge chance that this is a scam and you shouldn’t proceed with making a deal.


5. Verify the seller’s identity before agreeing to purchase the item. Learn as much about the seller as you can – most importantly, the full name and location.


6. Choose only public places to meet with the seller no matter what you buy – a car, a smartphone, or a motorcycle. Arrange the meeting before sunset and take someone with you, if possible.

What are you talking about ? The most dangerous here are you and not jiji.You can not even buy or sell without problems? You just need to learn how to take responsibility for your actions.
