When using the internet for your money business – be it personal, private, public or simply for the fun of it, ensure safety first. You may have decided you want to send money to your family or friends overseas – maybe Brazil, Australia, Russia, or China? Or you want to travel on an epic adventure to one of these countries? Maybe you want to buy a property abroad for investment? Maybe it’s more of a business transaction? Whatever it may be it comes down to the need to get money from A to B safely and simply.
So what advice can I give:
- Send money only to people you know and/or accounts you trust.
- Stick to the rule: IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE IT PROBABLY IS – this is a line used by many in safety and security when dealing with money. Fraud and scams are often centred on this principle, these ‘products’ are out there with huge interest for you and major savings – try keep it in perspective.
- Passwords – be creative with your passwords, increase the safety and effectiveness by mixing letters with numbers and punctuation. Try to keep your password to yourself and change it regularly.
- Ensure the legality of the business you are doing. Can you answer this question with complete confidence: so you know all the details of the transaction you are doing.
- Always use an authorised company, such as GlobalFundi, to assist you with your online money transactions and forex.
