When you are required to make, for example, translation of number of a purse through the payment terminal is a risk that instead of translated so that the money you will not get anything. Often banks do not cooperate with the sites precisely because of their suspicion.
- If the site is asked to enter a phone number and a map before you proceed with the purchase, or block selection to data entry, you should look for your favorite item in another store.
- Do not post personal information of payments and through unprotected channels - instant messenger or email. Pay attention to the SSL-certificate of availability and security padlock icon in the toolbar or in the browser address bar - it's nice evidence that your data is not personal will happen.
- Do not store payment details and passwords in the memory of mobile devices: they can be lost along with the gadget. If it still happens, block or bank and SIM-card. Timely treatment to the bank will keep your finances.
- If you successfully purchased a desired item on a suspicious site, check carefully for several months debited from your bank card: read about the purchases of SMS-notification or follow the movement of funds in the individual office. If you find a leak, immediately contact your bank.
