Still, there are too many legitimate sellers out there on the Web to pass up on because of a few rotten apples. Instead, follow safe Internet buying practices to prevent yourself from getting scammed.
First and foremost, never provide any personal information to someone over e-mail. Only provide it on a Web site if the site is secure. You can tell a site is secure by checking the Web address for a https instead of a http. The extra s stands for secure. Also, some sites will appear with a little key symbol in the browser to let you know it s safe.
Also, check out any retailer on the Web before you purchase from them. See if they have a phone number and a real address. You can even go so far as to research on a comparison site like MySimon.com or on the Better Business Bureau s site. This may seem like a little bit of effort, but in the long run, you ll be paid back by the best prices on golf clubs.
