Moneyonthego.net Offers Safety Tips to Online Shoppers

Moneyonthego.net, a member-based online retailer, shares tips to help online shoppers protect themselves against scams.

2013-04-24

ST. PETERSBURG, FL, April 24, 2013 (Press-News.org) Moneyonthego.net, an online retailer that functions according to a member-based model, understands that Internet shopping can be quite dangerous if individuals do not protect themselves against scams and con artists. While e-commerce with regard to trusted retailers is safer than ever before, it is true that con artists can create websites as easily as anyone else, and can therefore dupe unsuspecting customers into giving up sensitive financial information and agreeing to fine print that is not in their best interest. As such, Greg Bielawski of Moneyonthego.net has commented on a recent article posted by Business Daily that shares tips to assist Internet shoppers in protecting themselves when making purchases online. Bielawski encourages shoppers to only do business with trusted companies.

The first tip offered by the article is to beware of websites that are not secure. Shopping at trusted retailers is a great move, as unfamiliar sites may not always be run by trustworthy professionals. Comparing products and prices, as well as information given via testimonials and customer reviews, is a great idea when looking to make a purchase from a new company for the first time. Additionally, locating the "Verified by Visa" logo means that your card is protected when you use it to engage in e-commerce.

Free trials and offers for free products are also noted as potential scams and, as a result, the article encourages consumers to use caution when dealing with these situations. Bielawski agrees, stating that it is crucial that online shoppers exercise good judgment when making their purchases.

"Just because a retailer is online does not mean that it is a company in which consumers should trust," Bielawski asserts. "I know that great prices drive many shoppers to unfamiliar retailers, but the truth is that this search for the best deal can lead to financial catastrophe if sensitive information falls into the hands of a scam artist. I highly recommend that consumers focus on doing business with organizations that they trust and that are backed by positive testimonials and client reviews."

Bielawski of Moneyonthego.net also recommends that individuals who find themselves involved in scam situations partner with their credit card companies to try to combat the charges that result.
