Shopping online? How to avoid delivery thefts, ID fraud, sale panic and other seasonal scams
Briefly

Here are some online shopping tips for getting through the season without being victimized: Safe shopping Don't use public WiFi: Use private networks to keep information you enter into the website from being lifted. Check companies and websites: Amazon used to sell just books. Walmart wasn't born an ubiquitous chain of megastores. Everybody was small at some point.
Don't fall for time pressure: BUY BEFORE 10 PM WEDNESDAY AND GET 50% OFF! Before you rearrange the schedule and your money so you can take advantage of this bargain, step away from the keyboard. Put the phone down. If you know you want that item, know it's a good bargain and are economically ready to press the Order button, hit it. But haste makes waste of your hard-earned cash. Their deadline doesn't change whether or not you're ready to buy. Also, Black Friday or Cyber Monday deals often get resurrected during what's become Discount December.
