How to
buy Gift cards safely
Shoppers need to take the necessary steps to be sure that the
convenience of online shopping isn’t costing them their security and
privacy in the long run.
• Risk: Gift
cards. The National Retail Foundation recently estimated that as
many as 70 percent of gift cards offered on eBay were obtained
fraudulently.
TIP: To avoid the possibility of fraud, consumers should purchase
gift cards directly from retailers’ Web sites rather than through
third parties. This way, they will also have complete access to the
retailer’s refunds and other return and safety policies that are not
available through third parties.
