    So long as you use a shop you know, or one recommended by a comparison site, you should be ok. I have been doing my shopping on-line for several years now without any problems.

    1. Always use the same credit card, and check on-line regularly, that no strange entries appear.
    2. Always enter anything you want to buy into a search engine, such as google. As well as finding a comparison site, such as Kelkoo, you may find what you want cheaper.
    3. Always print the onscreen receipt, and save the email you will be sent.

    Never click on an address in an email. Always go to the site, and log in. Phishing emails will take you to a site that looks right, and will steal your details.

    Hello, i never took a risk of online banking, because i have heard that by something or the other, one will definitely in trouble, but as some one has replied to your post about it and also mentioned the things very clearly, now i am also thinking of trying it.
