Shop Smart and Stay Safe Online

Holiday deals are everywhere—but so are online scams.

Keep your information secure with these quick tips:

  • Shop trusted sites. Stick to well-known retailers and make sure the web address starts with https://
  • Use strong passwords. Avoid reusing passwords across different sites.
  • Skip public Wi-Fi. Shop only on secure, private connections while shopping.
  • Watch your statements. Check bank or credit card activity regularly for unusual charges.
  • Watch Out for Too-Good-To-Be-True Deals. Scammers often lure shoppers with huge discounts or limited-time offers. If a deal seems unbelievable, it probably is.

A little caution goes a long way in keeping your
holiday shopping merry—and safe!
