Holiday Shopping

If you plan to use your credit card for online shopping this Holiday Season, make sure you are purchasing items from a legitimate website. Aside from verifying the whois information for the domain and any contact information posted on the domain, you should search for reviews about the website, if any. Be wary about websites that have been created recently as that may be an indication that they only intend to be around for a short period of time, around the holidays (which may reduce your options for any returns). The additional steps you take before purchasing can help you rest easy and confident that you are not handing your credit card information to an unknown third party.
