MANILA \u2014 Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Undersecretary Teodoro Pascua has reminded consumers to stay vigilant when shopping online.<\/p>\n

Pascua encouraged consumers to check red flags of fraudulent online stores and phishing sites that may hack personal information of consumers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe cannot deny the fact that technology created a more advanced environment where consumers now take part in digital transactions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cSo we encourage the buying public to be wiser and more alert in order not be taken advantage of by unscrupulous online sellers,\u201d added Pascua.<\/p>\n

The DTI released safety tips when purchasing on online stores, which include the following:
\n\u2014 always check the website if it has a Secured Socket Layer (SSL) Certificate. This protects information (such as credit card number, addresses, and password) sent to the website;
\n\u2014 take note of the lock icon in the address bar to confirm legitimacy of the website;
\n\u2014 check the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) at the beginning of the website;
\n\u2014 when providing your personal address, make sure that the URL starts with \u201chttps:\/\/\u201d and
\n\u2014 check for reviews posted by customers
\nDTI noted that it is best to choose \u201cCash on Delivery (COD)\u201d as mode of payment for the buyers not to share bank details online.<\/p>\n

The agency also warned consumers to beware of fake websites and trying to access personal data.<\/p>\n

Consumers should also look for documents such as DTI registration, Securities and Exchange Commission registration, BIR registration, business permit, sales invoice or official receipt, and Food and Drug Administration license of the establishment.<\/p>\n

Among the red flags of a fraud online store include websites starting with \u201chttp:\/\/\u201d instead of \u201chttps:\/\/\u201d; requiring to submit personal information; and asking for immediate deposit before sending the products.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
