Always use a secure website; look for “https” in the URL and a padlock icon in your browser’s address bar. This indicates data encryption.
Choose reputable online pharmacies. Research the pharmacy before making a purchase; check online reviews and verify its licensing.
Never share your credit card details via email or unsecured websites. Legitimate pharmacies use secure payment gateways.
Use strong, unique passwords for your online pharmacy accounts. Avoid using the same password for multiple accounts.
Monitor your bank and credit card statements regularly for any unauthorized transactions. Report suspicious activity immediately.
Consider using a virtual credit card or a prepaid debit card for online purchases. This limits your liability in case of fraud.
Be wary of overly cheap prices or offers that seem too good to be true. These may indicate fraudulent activities.
If something feels wrong, don’t proceed with the purchase. Trust your instincts; it’s better to be safe than sorry.
Read the pharmacy’s privacy policy carefully. Understand how they handle your personal and financial information.
Report any suspected fraudulent activity to your bank or credit card company and to the appropriate authorities.
