There is a completely understandable fear and worry amongst people when buying products online. People are concerned about credit card fraud and identifty theft online, but in fact they are wrong to be more concerned about online purchases than offline - most happen in shops and restaurants! Most people happily let someone working in a restaurant take their valuable credit card out the back where noone can see what they are doing with it. Certainly its the case that when shopping, both online and offline, we should always make sure to avoid putting ourselves in a situation where fraud becomes possible, but the assumption that its worse online than in local shops is incorrect. Of course there are many dishonest people trying to scam you or get your money. Just make sure your card is not out of your sight so noone can clone the card. Its not just shops where people will try to scam you, others such as employees or other people you think you know may be trying to take your money. Check out reverse cell phone lookup websites to see if someone you are suspect about is who they say, or use a background check site to see if they have a criminal record for credit card fraud.
