Hi Friends

Very recently , One of my uncle lost over Rs.5,000 in a internet fraud , it's really sad that people ignore even small small precautions while dealing with money on net . Buying,selling and even banking is extremely safe on internet unless and untill you keep few tips in mind . So , i am now sharing few quick tips on safe internet banking or buying or any kind of money exchange Plus few general tips to save yourself from internet credit card thieves .

1. Never ever use your credit card in public cyber cafes .
   
2. Don't share your credit card number with one .
   
3. Whenever you buy anything from anywhere with your credit card please let the credit card processing happen in front of your eyes only . The person may note your credit card no. and use it for internet shopping .
   
4. Avoid using your credit card on not-so-popular sites .
5. Whenever you decide to use credit card on site , just check if there is any 'Lock' symbol on your address bar of your browser or at bottom-right corner .
6. Never click on any link in mails that clams to be are from ebay,paypal or some bank . If the mail asks to for some clarification . Go to your account on that site but by typing that site's web address yourself , not by clicking on the link given in the mail .
   
7. Please always bear in mind that any legal banking site never asks your personal information on email .
   
8. Be careful from mails that says that they need some help from you to encash some family's property and they will share its part with you , on your financial help . They are 99.99% fake mails . But yeah , you can always talk to them if you want to have some fun . Once i carried on similar mail exchange with an nigerian girl for more than a month . I wish i would have saved that mails , it would have been excellent post for blog .
   
9. And avoid using paying in advance to unknown shops unless there is some guarntee .
