PAYZA FRAUD PREVENTION: DON’T GET FOOLED BY CYBERCRIMINALS How to Protect Yourself There are many ways that cybercriminals can steal your information and access your money without having to go through our system, so it’s absolutely necessary that you are diligent in your online security practices. That’s why the Payza scam prevention team works so hard to inform the public about the risks that exist out there. Here are some good practices to follow when shopping online: ? Watch out for items with delayed shipping. There is more risk involved with items shipped more than 20 days after the payment date. ? Establish a rapport with the seller. Send emails so that you can get to know the person or business that you'll be dealing with. ? Purchase from Payza-verified sellers only. We have authenticated their identities and businesses so your shopping experience is as secure as possible. ? Be wary of high value and popular items. Do some homework to make sure that the seller is legitimate. If you behave responsibly and intelligently, you will never be at risk of falling victim to a Payza scam.
