Before sending any personal, sensitive information, such as your credit card, make sure to look out to see if a website has “https://” at the beginning of its web address. The “S” at the end of HTTPS indicates that the website is secure because it is encrypted, which makes it safe to enter credit card or other personal information.
The BBB recommends shopping with a credit card as they offer more consumer fraud protections than debit cards.
Also be wary of phishing scams. A popular one this time of years is an email claiming to be from a package-delivery company with links to fake tracking information. Never give personal information on an unfamiliar link.
