Isn't it scary how much trust we put into the internet and cyberspace. Entering our personal details onto online without a second thought. It can be done as simply as when we set up an email or Facebook account, or purchase something online. How do we tell if companies are legitimate? How do we tell it is not a scam? Or that our personal information won't be leaked or shared amongst millions? Unless you are a computer whizz, this can prove very hard to determine. Most of us would just trust our instincts. Often 'judging a book on its cover' if you will. If the site is popular, well known, and has a 'shnazzy' layout, then it passes. If its dodgy, asks for way to many details and know one has heard of it...then NO. However, scamming companies are getting smarter and more savvy by the day, so just LOOK OUT and get a second opinion. Me personally, should be gaining the opinions of at least 5 before purchasing online goods.
