Introduction:
There are just under 4 weeks until Christmas and during this time the majority of us collectively expect to avoid the high street and spend a record £9.5 billion online.
However, new research reveals that online shoppers are putting savings before safety. Over two million of us don't take simple measures like checking the websites we're buying from and over a third (36%) the padlock icon when making a payment (although they know what it is). Christmas can be an expensive time but for many who don’t take their security seriously, it could be far more costly than they anticipate.
So, how can we stay safe and avoid the online pitfalls?
Joining us to discuss this further is Rob Skinner, digital payments specialist from PayPal.
