Questions to ask yourself


What is your family's safety worth to
you?
What are your financial assets worth to
you?
What is your privacy worth to you?
I want you to
be Cybersafe.
Tips To Help You Navigate Safely
Through Cyberspace:

Shop online only with companies you know. If
you do not know a company, ask for a print
catalog before you decide to order electronically

Use a secure browser that will encrypt or
scramble purchase information. If they do not
have encryption software, consider calling the
company's 800 number, faxing your order, or
paying with a check
Tips To Help You Navigate Safely
Through Cyberspace:

Never give anyone your bank account
number, social security number, or other
personal information that is not absolutely
needed to complete a transaction

Never give out your Internet password.
Your online provider will not ask for your
password other than at first log-on. Change
your password often and be creative.
Filling out Forms on the internet

Never include any information in a form that
you fill out that gives people your e-mail or
homepage password.

Never include your social security number,
drivers license number, or credit card
numbers.

1. Never include any information in a form that you fill out that
gives people your e-mail or homepage password.

2. Never include your social security number, drivers license
number, or credit card numbers.

3. If you are making a purchase on the internet that requires any
of this information, make sure that you are using a form on a
secure site. If you are using Netscape, they have a feature
where you see a key in the lower left hand corner. If the key is
broken you are not in a secure site. This means that any
information that you submit can be intercepted by hackers or
anyone else that has the knowledge to grab the information.

4. Kids - make sure that your parents know that you
are filling out forms and that they approve of the
information that you are providing on the forms.

5. Again, don't provide your address or phone
number on forms that you fill out. Most forms
include these questions as optional information,
when it's optional don't give it.
Things To Look
For
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) allows software to communicate with
Web servers in a secure, encrypted manner. Many Web sites that
conduct electronic commerce use SSL to securely transmit credit
card numbers from a customer's Web browser to the Web server.
TRUE STORY
TIME
Hello,
I am very interested in your item. Is it new? Selling price? I need it till Thursday and i
do not have time to bid on it. Please email me the final price including shipping to
Northridge, CA 91324 via overnight shipping.
I will deal only with an escrow company. The escrow company is a service that protects
both buyer and seller against fraud. If we agree on the price, we can start the escrow
process today, so you can ship Wednesday and I can have it on Thursday. Thanks and
please be back to me asap.

The ring was worn for 6 months. I would like to get $8,000.00
for the ring. I had it appraised and the value was $15,000.000
for both rings. With that price I will include shipping. If you
would like to ask me any more question you may call me at
###-####. As for setting up the escrow that will be fine.
Thanks
Glenn Hoffman
$8,000 is ok.
Please sign up with www.secure-etrade.us and email me your partner
ID so I can start the transaction. Your partner ID is the email that you
registered with the escrow co. I will pay the escrow fees. I used this
service in the past and they are fast and secure. I will deal with
them again. Please do this today so i can place the funds tomorrow
morning and you can ship on Wednesday via overnight shipping. I
want the shipping with insurance via Fedex or UPS.
Thank you,
Claudio
