Shopping Online: • Use trusted and reputable websites with secure payment systems and be cautious with personal information. • Before entering any sensitive information, make sure the website has a secure connection. Look for a padlock symbol and "https://" in the website URL. • Use strong and unique passwords for your online accounts. • Keep your devices, operating systems, and security software up to date to protect your device and information. • Be aware of deals that seem too good to be true. Scammers use enticing offers to trick shoppers. • Trust your instincts. If something feels off about a website or a product, trust your gut and consider shopping elsewhere. • Help prevent packages from being stolen: o Schedule deliveries to arrive when you will be home or have them delivered to your office. o Have a trusted neighbor or friend pick up your packages if you won’t be home. o Install a security camera on your property. o Have packages delivered to a shipping store. If you hold a post office box, use USPS for shipping and take advantage of their package lockers to receive your items. Some post offices allow boxholders to use it’s street address, with the customer’s box number as the “unit” number for deliveries from other carriers.
