On-line Money Security

Hopefully you have never found yourself in the position of someone stealing your credit card information. What a mess that can be! Eric Jackson, author of “The PayPal Wars: Battles with eBay, the Media, the Mafia and the Rest of Planet Earth”, has some words of wisdom on Chuck Harder’s Show, For the People. Check your statements monthly and make sure that all debits are of your making. And if someone should steal your card or the information on it, cancel it and then ask for a new one with all new numbers. Jackson is what Harder calls an online expert. At one time he managed the marketing operations of PayPal; now he is President of World Ahead Publishing. So much of our techno world evolves around being able to pay for things through PayPal now that we hardly give it a second thought but there are some caveats. Be cautious about paying for anything from outside the country online- if there is a problem, you have little recourse. And never- repeat never- give out your debit card with pin number or your checking account number. And the online relief efforts for such natural disasters as Katrina (and now Rita)- make darn sure they are legit. There are lots out there that sound official but the only thing your money relieves is some low-life’s empty pocket.
