Tips for Buying Safely on G-Commerce

Here are some best practices to help ensure safe purchases on GCommerce.

Credit card safety

- Never give your full credit card number, tax identification number, or password in an email, GCommerce Message, or over the phone. 

- If you are making a transaction in person, do not speak your credit card information aloud. Be sure to sign for the transaction and request a receipt. 

- Check your credit card statement regularly to track your spending and card activity. 

- Keep track of your credit card: who is authorized to use it, and who has access to it.

Internet/Computer safety

- Change your passwords on a regular basis. The more complex a password is, the better you’re protected. 

- If you share your computer or device, sign out of any website accounts before letting others use it.

On GCommerce

- If you see an unrecognized charge from GCommerce on your bank or credit card statement, review these considerations. If you are still unable to confirm the charge, contact our specialists, and they will help you investigate it.

- Keep your transaction on GCommerce. 

- If you receive a suspicious email claiming to be from GCommerce, forward it to us at [email protected].
