  4. Inspect the URL Cybercriminals are genius when it comes to imitating e-commerce sites especially those big ones. Don't fall into their trap and be more vigilant. Make sure that you are on the right page before shopping and entering your personal information. For instance, you may be surprised to find imitation sites like www.slidr.net or www.slidrs.com for the website https://www.slidr.com that offers innovative technology gadgets at discounted prices.

  5. It is also vital to check if the URL contains the letter "s". That is HTTPS:// instead of just HTTP://. Website URLs that start with HTTPS:// use a secure code or secure sockets layer (SSL) encryption for added protection while those that begin with HTTP:// are considered unsecured networks. Another safety feature to look for is the locked padlock icon in the status bar.

  6. Beware of the "too good to be true" offers • It is quite normal to find great deals online (e.g. best drone deals, discount watches in the UK online, and etc). That's one of the reasons why online shopping is a big hit these days. If the offers seem to be "too good to be true", take time to pause and investigate. Chances are, these offers are just a scam.

  7. Avoid paying with your debit cards • Instead of using your debit cards, use your credit cards when shopping online. Aside from the fact that credit cards do not normally have available withdrawable funds, they are also designed with additional consumer protection features that will keep you safe from fraudulent online transactions. Other credit card companies even provide zero-liability policies, making online shopping safer for you. • Another safe option is to use trusted and secure online payment services like PayPal.

  8. Use your own mobile data • Now it is possible to visit a couple of online retail shops, compare prices, find the best deal, and buy the goods that you want from your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or computer more conveniently and quickly anywhere you are, whenever you want, and whatever you are doing.

  9. While using the public Wi-Fi gives you additional benefit, it is not recommended to connect with these hotspots when purchasing online. Public hotspots are generally unsecured and are easy to attack. Though there are a few possible ways to resolve these security vulnerabilities, it is still best to use your private internet connection at home or perhaps the data provided by your network if you are using your mobile when looking for and purchasing smart health devices deals online. • Take these safety tips with you whenever you want to shop online to avoid getting riffed off by the hairy hands out there.
