Safe Payment Methods
Safe payment methods involve using secure and reliable ways to complete transactions online, minimizing the risk of fraud or data theft.
- Financial fraud: Unsafe payment methods can expose bank account or card details.
- Identity theft: Personal data shared with untrusted platforms can be misused.
- Unauthorized charges: Scammers may use stolen details for fraudulent purchases.
- Data breaches: Payment data stored insecurely can be leaked or hacked.
Example: A user used a debit card on an unverified website, resulting in fraudulent charges on their account.
- Use secure payment gateways, such as PayPal or virtual credit cards.
- Avoid storing payment details on e-commerce sites.
- Monitor bank statements regularly for unauthorized transactions.
- Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for online banking and payment accounts.
