Avoid posting personal details on Internet, expert warns
An international fraud expert says Australians should avoid posting their personal details on the Internet.
Bryan Sartin is in Australia educating businesses about the growing prominence of fraud, with recent figures showing it costs small businesses about $3.2 billion each year.
Mr Sartin says people should carefully inspect an Internet site before they release their credit card details.
"It pays to be safe when you are making an online transaction, for instance, look for that little lock and key on the browser, make sure the connection is encrypted," he said.
