To save yourself from being scammed while shopping online, here are some Online Shopping Safety Tips:

- Always read reviews about the site , before giving your information, especially when you are shopping from the site for the first time.
- Be extra careful when you are shopping through cell phones, because cell phones don't have effective antivirus softwares in them, which can warn you of viruses.
- Don't use public WiFi to shop.When you enter your information while using a public WiFi connection, you leave yourself vulnerable, any hacker can easily hack your information.
- Stay away from the sites which look suspicious (sites with poor layout and lots of pop ups).
- Never click the embedded hyperlinks in the emails, they are probably viruses.
- Shop on secure websites, look for sites with 'https' in them and not just http.
