Online buyer beware

TAKING CREDIT, LITERALLY. With the holidays comes spending for gifts and many online purchases. However, an EAR source cautions that your credit card data isn’t really as safe as you think when you buy something online.

The source said some websites actually store your credit card data. What’s more? They conspire with other groups to buy and sell customer data to come up with better sales leads.

The source said he should know; he was a telemarketer for two years in Manila. That was how they found customers.
