I may have to deal with
I may have to deal with people online and on the phone.I give my name, address, phone number, and??my credit card number! EGAD, what am I doing?
Then my common sense and education about matters such as these kicks in and I rationalize that these companies would not be in business if they couldn?t keep their customers happy. But,accidents happen.
So you see my dilemma. I know computer security and Spyware, and the vulnerabilities and strengths when dealing online. Its just a little new to me to trust, when I know the ramifications to me personally if my Identity were to be used for ill-gotten gain.
I know after all these years of being a, OK I admit it, a slightly paranoid online user, that I need to make myself a little vunerable so I can better succeed in my online business.
Ive been where the people who contact me asking for help are; a place in their minds of anger, frustration and helplessness.
But then as I said earlier, common sense and education about Spyware wins over and I take a deep breath and go on.
