Episode summary
A vital skill in staying safe while shopping online is knowing how to tell if a website is safe. You need to be on the watch for not only phishing sites, but scam websites too.
We usually think of phishing websites as clones of specific websites, like gmail, where the objective is to steal your password. But with shopping, the objective of a phishing website is to gather as much personal information about you as they can, including your credit card.
The first question on our safe website checklist is this: is the website less than a year old? If the answer to that question is yes, my advice is: run away, do not shop there, do not even browse there.
