Shopping On Line For Holiday Gifts? Be Careful Of The Cyber Traps

There is nothing like shopping from the comfort of your own home, if you're not into getting out and fighting the crowds. But you need to be aware of bad traps on the internet.

Phishing scams seem to be alive and well. You can still get emails in your in box, based on what you click on with the internet. These can be the cause of identity theft, which can ruin any holiday.

Watch out for bogus websites that may have the number one in the address, when it should be a L.

Some sites will tell you 'the only way to get this great offer', is to clink on some bogus link. Don't do it. Make sure you shop on sites that are legitimate and those you trust.

Be aware and remember, what looks like a really great deal, just might be too good to be true.
