Beware the Internet

My husband and I use the internet a lot for purchasing everyday items that we can't get easily.  By using the internet to make purchases online, we take the risk of compromising our credit card information. In the last couple of years we have had our credit card information stolen resulting in purchases that were not of our doing. One specific incident, our card information was used for a service that will write papers for a fee. The same individual also purchased a hotel room. 

Using the internet can be great when you can't get to the store, especially when many websites provide free shipping.  You take the risk, though, of someone taking your personal information and using for their own. You must decide, is it worth the risk?
