Staying Smart Online

The big wide web world can be very daunting.  We all love to hop on the internet and pick up a bargain.  This is all possible but you must take care and look out for some simple signs for any scams or too good to be true deals.

 

Here are a few tips that we feel are very important whether you are buying a wig or anything else on line.

  1.  Be aware of who you are buying from.  Are they an Australia Supplier or an overseas supplier?  If the website is a .com.au then the seller is an Australian Company as overseas suppliers can not buy a .com.au domain.
  2. Check the contact details – email addresses, telephone numbers, address location, etc;  If something goes wrong you need to be able to contact them.
  3. When purchasing online make sure you are buying on a secure website.  In the task bar there should be a little padlock.
  4. Check the returns and exchange policy so there are no surprises for later.
  5. Create strong passwords and always log out of your session
  6. If the price seems to good to be true – be wary.  It might be a copy item not a genuine brand that you think you are buying.

These are only a few little things that can protect yourself from being a victim.

There are a lot of websites out there with a lot of information so you are prepared to buy online and to know what to do if you have been scammed.

Happy Shopping!
