With the Christmas season fast approaching, many people choose to shop online in the comfort of their own home. The internet makes shopping 24/7, easy and convenient, though we need to exercise caution when using these services.
Identity theft and fraud most commonly involves the misuse of personal information located on the internet and can be used by offenders by means of false identities, cheques and credit cards.
Shopping on-line with a credit card may involve your card being:

Intercepted as it passes through various computer links
Sent in un-encrypted emails
Stored on insecure computers

Use Paypal to ensure that financial information is secure when shopping online.

On November 25 – the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women – a National Domestic Violence Order Scheme was introduced to increase protection for victims of domestic and family violence across Australian borders.
