Due to many stories from people get their personal credit cards information hacked by some nerd geeks, while they buy stuff online, I found this useful methods to help.

And to understand and comprehend more how they do that, I will explain briefly because it so complicated, Hackers use a number of tools to steal data For instance a Remote Access Trojan called RAT, Another popular tool is something called Angler exploit kits which look for weaknesses in the security of a computer system to install malicious software that gives the hacker all the information on your computer. And also they attacked shopping websites that collect data from costumers that have bought and entered their credit cards information, any way; here are other ways to shop online without getting information leaked.

Toys “R” Us & Wal-Mart:
Toys “R” Us & Wal-Mart now offers the option to order online and pay in-store. Customers can reserve their purchase online by selecting “Pay in Store” in the online checkout process. They’ll receive an email receipt to print or display on their mobile phone. The customer can then present this receipt at any Toys “R” Us & Wal-Mart store in the next 48 hours and pay with cash. The shipping process begins once payments are made.

Gift Cards:
Now the majority of stores carry a wide selection of retail gift cards, from the generic Visa prepaid card to Amazon. These cards can be purchased with cash and in most cases used for online transactions.

Coinstar:
Coinstar as the grocery store kiosks that let customers exchange their change collection for dollar bills and coins, but these green machines can also turn cash and bills into gift cards for retailers such as Amazon, iTunes and Old Navy, all of which can be redeemed online.

PayNearMe:
It is a service that lets consumers use cash for purchases instead of credit card, including bill pay and online purchases. For online orders, users can choose the PayNearMe option within the checkout menu unfortunately not so many online shops offer this service, next, you’ll get a receipt to either print or display on your mobile phone. Take this to a 7-Eleven or ACE Cash Express and make your payment in cash. The cashier will then scan the printed receipt to notify the online vendor that you have paid.
