Donut Supercharged May 4, 2015 Share May 4, 2015 i shop online too. But always have this fear that cc details will be stolen. there are 2 ways of hacking: 1. virus get into your personal device and steals from there. 2. hackers go into the online shopping portal. For 1st point, you can control by installing best anti virus s/w. But for 2nd point, its beyond our control and we only have to trust the portal, which I'm very skeptical about how they made their server robust. They are running a biz, and often they forgot to budget $xxx to prevent their server from been hacked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben5266 Supercharged May 4, 2015 Share May 4, 2015 The gadget is slightly bigger than a credit card but smaller than a phone. Lucky I got the 3 pin plug. Thanks lala81 for the recommendation ... your 3-pin plug... you supposed to remove the paper showing the wires... in case the paper gets wet and you will get short-circuit... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kusje Supersonic May 4, 2015 Share May 4, 2015 (edited) If u really want to be kiasi, use a debit card. Then dont keep much inside? Then delete ur CC details from the website once payment has been made. For overseas and more unknown type of websites, sometimes i just pay via paypal (even though their exchange rate is a rip off). But i usually only try those well known sites or those personally recommended to me by others. Debit card is worse. Credit card liability is just 100 SGD (unless they can somehow prove you were negligent) but debit card is already your money. Once they makan your money, hard to get it back. If you are really worried, then just lower the credit limit on your CC. http://www.mas.gov.sg/news-and-publications/parliamentary-replies/2009/reply-to-pq-on-liability-of-credit-card-holders.aspx http://www.moneysense.gov.sg/Understanding-Financial-Products/Banking-and-Cash/Types-of-Products-and-Services/Debit-Cards.aspx Technically, debit card liability is also limited to 100 SGD but like I said, one is your money and one is still the bank's money. For paypal, if you use a credit card to pay, you can choose to use the credit card's exchange rate instead of paypal's.

Stratovarius Turbocharged May 4, 2015 Share May 4, 2015 Many times I was tempted to order but held back by fear of fraud via payment mode. I mean, payment by Visa or credit card is the most convenient but is it recommended? Advise from regulars appreciated. TIA. Buying online definitely has its advantages and of course risks. Normally I will use CC for payment. Paypal unless really necessary cause other than the stupid exchange rate from paypal, there have been quite a few cases of fraud charges. To reduce risks, buy from a reputable seller. Ensure that before doing payment, the weblink should start with "https". Always clear the internet cookies and of course, check your CC charges every now and then. This is also very important as it applies after you travel overseas for biz or holiday. If your CC security has been compromised, inform the bank immediately. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually use Paypal which still allows me to specify which credit card to use. Sometimes using Citi Card can be a pain in the arse. Even though I receive the 2FA via SMS, transaction still fails.
