COMMITMENT

HELLO

The one pertinent objection I keep running into time after time is trusting the internet. I have talked with people who use the net on a daily basis and even they will not commit. Comments like "I don't shop on line because I will not give my personal information out" they don't trust the secure statements given on the site. I have had them give me examples, one person said that he gave out information on the net and the next thing he knew someone was using his personal checking account to automatically with draw on a monthly basis a fake utility bill which was a front for pornography. The bank would only go back two months to replace his money. I know that there are ways to keep that from happening but when you get hit with something like that sometimes its hard to respond with something positive. However I would like to hear some feedback so that someone reading this blog will have something to work with in case they run into a situation like this. My response to the person was that he should not give out information to the pop up sites that are always coming up and any of the questionable sites that sounded to good to be true, he still would not commit. Your right it was easy to get information, but getting people to commit is tough.

Did manage to get more names and information, will keep on keeping on!

GOD BLESS

people who are afraid to use their credit card can go and get a pre paid credit card to use in their mall. Happy new year!

Ron the best thing to go is tell them to look at the URL for the web site they are on. The URL is the address they logged into. If it has https://www.xxxxxxxxxx that means the web site is secure and his information is safe. IF it is just http:// it is not secure as a rule. Another thing he can look for is a Pad lock on the bottom of the web site page. That also means they are using some type of security to protect their information.

As a final argument you could use. Ask them if they pay for their dinner at a restaraunt. That has been proven to be the most unsafe place to use a credit card. If the waiter or waitress is crocked they could very easily copy their credit card number and information before giving back their card. If they still use carbon paper instead of NCR paper for their transactions tell them to ask for the carbon paper and they can throw it away. Depending on how adamant they are it may help.
