Answer #1
Allways make sure that it's a good authentic sitewhen giving out your credit card. Have a firewalllike Zonealarm, get a dynamic ip addresss, whichchanges you raddress everytime you log on into theinternet making it hard for hackers to track you.Never give out you social security card, and avoidgiving out person information. For scams anythingfor free or what just doesn't sound right like,Buy a stock of google for a dollar, should beavoided.Anything thats advertised on a site isn'tgood and also should be ignored.
