PHOENIX - Nov. 29, 2016 - PRLog -- Shopping in Stores

• 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.
