Follow on Google News | Holiday Shopping Security Safety Tips from Good Morning ArizonaAnthony Rumore joins 3TV live this morning with some great ways to stay safe while your out shopping this Holiday season
• Do not buy more than you can carry. Plan ahead by taking a friend with you or asking a store employee to help you carry your packages to the car. • Save all receipts. Print and save all confirmations from your online purchases. Start a file folder to keep all receipts together and to help you verify credit card or bank statements as they come in. • Don't flash the cash. Consider alternate options to pay for your merchandise, such as onetime or multiuse disposable credit cards or money orders, including at online stores. • Wait until asked by a cashier before taking out your credit card or checkbook. An enterprising thief would love to shoulder surf to get your account information. Walking to and From Your Car • Be informed about your surroundings. Use the free mobile app available from AlertID™ to receive alerts about registered sex offenders living and working in the vicinity of your shopping venue. • Deter pickpockets. Carry your purse close to your body or your wallet inside a coat or front trouser pocket. • Have your keys in hand when approaching your vehicle. Check the back seat and around the car before getting in. • Tell a security guard or store employee if you see an unattended bag or package. The same applies if you are using mass transit. • Do not leave packages visible in your car. Lock them in the trunk, or if possible, take them directly home. Shopping With Small Children • If you are shopping with children, make a plan in case you are separated from ea ch other. • Select a central meeting place. • Teach them to know they can ask mall personnel or store security employees if they need help. • Have them memorize or keep your cell phone number handy. • Keep up-to-date photos and accurate descriptions of each child electronically with AlertID's My Family Wallet™. Should they go missing, this information can be sent quickly to law enforcement when every moment counts. http://www.azfamily.com/ End
