Hi everyone, I thought the subject of Internet Banking might be of interest to many
so I have gathered a few handy tips and reminders.
Internet – Banking
1.
Beware of using internet cafes or public computers for financial transactions.
2.
Check that the unbroken padlock symbol ( ABOVE ) is showing before sending your
logon details and that beginning of the bank’s internet address has changed from http
to https ( this indicates that the site you are on is secure). But basically, if in doubt
don’t do the transaction or ask a friend to help.
Keep PIN’s , passwords ( try not to use birth dates ) and personal information safe.
Be wary of any emails asking you to click on a link or confirm you details. Remember
that banks and the police will NEVER ask you to disclose or confirm sensitive
personal or security information. If you have any concerns about information that you
have been asked to submit on line you should phone the organization concerned on a
number advertised elsewhere to check.
3.
4.
Make sure that you keep your cards and card details safe in the real world. Most
internet, phone and mail order fraud happens because card details have been stolen
in the real world and then used in the virtual world.
Please let me know if there is any other subject you would like researched and I
shall write about it in the next issue of our Atworth “Yer Tiz”.
Many thanks for your time in reading the above and now that the hot weather is
approaching please do check and double check that all open doors and windows
are checked before retiring for the evening.
Kind regards, Rosemary Ward Atworth Neighbourhood Watch Coordinator.
