Safe online shopping
A military veteran called the Watchdog Team today and left us with a valuable piece of advice.
He’d gone to the Army and Air Force Exchange Service Web site and purchased several watches and pendants to give out as gifts to his family. He said the descriptions of the items were convincing and the seller compared everything to costly, well-known products.
Of course, when he received the items, they were anything but. he said he paid a fair price, but didn’t get what he thought he was purchasing.
Save your money, if you want to buy something look at it first,” he said.
But he brings up another good point–just because a well-known and trusted source like AAFES hosts an auction doesn’t necessarily mean the seller is on the up and up.
Know what you’re buying, from whom you are buying, use good judgement and know how the system you’re bidding on works. If necessary, buy shipping insurance and look into other buyer protection programs.
