People surfing Internet, be careful!!!!

The Internet is used widely. People can do shopping, searching job, searching home repair service and so on. Lots of organizations companies have their own official website. And most of website ask people to sign up by email with their personal information, such as mobile number or home address. However, how people can identify which website they can trust? Whether the information from the website is reliable? How people can 100% sure the website will protect their customer privacy?

I believe most of people have some scaring experience of online. Here is the top 10 online scams video. 

As mentioned from the video, these irresponsible companies or even illegal companies look for people’s different difficult situations to take advantage of. As we all know, the current global economy are not very good. That causes the rate of unemployment grows rapidly. People are upset when they lost jobs. Based on the Psychology Research, people's emotion will influence their decision making. 

Some issues cannot be taken into consideration when a person is with negative emotion. Unemployed people urgently need a job. Under this situation, it is very hard for people to be thoughtful. 

Another case which usually happens is online shopping!

Online shopping is becoming popular. The Target customers are usually young generation. They would like to shop online instead of in-store shopping.  However, these young group people usually lack life experience, like safety consciousness. That’s why they can be easily swindled. Some irresponsibility companies or even illegal companies know this very well, and the worst thing is they take this as their business opportunity to success. I believe most you have online shopping experience. When we doing payment, the website usually give us several options, such as Paypal and Credit Card (included Master Card, American Express or Visa Card). Except, Paypal, the Credit Card way requires customer to fill out their card number, their security code. The vulnerability of Online shopping is about trust or guarantee. Customer cannot easily to distinguish a trust website and bilk website. Most bilk websites usually give customer big discounts compared with in-store shopping. And these discounts are the reason for why people would like to shopping online. Personal bank information is very important for customers. Company has the responsibility to protect their customers' personal information. However, those irresponsibility companies may sell their customer information to some illegal companies, or even worse they use customer's banking information steal money. From my own experience, I bought a pair of fake shoes from a shopping website which the format is very attractive and they give a huge discount. (http://www.rogervivieronlineaustralia.com/ this is the bilk website! Hope no-one knows it! )After that time, I will check whether the website has Return & Refund policy every time. From detail of the policy, people usually can make sure the website can be trusted or not.

There are also some underground websites online. The underground websites usually sell illegal staff, such as drags and guns. 

I admit internet brings us convenience, effective and efficient. However, we also need to be careful when you are surfing online. Trying to protect yourself, giving yourself one more minutes before you making a decision. 

I hope everyone has a happy experience when you are online!
