We at Remit2India value the efforts made by you for the money earned and the purpose of your remittance. We at Remit2India ensure that your remittance transaction is processed in safe and secure manner. We would also like you to keep your self updated from online frauds and educate your self.

Be vigilant if:

•  You receive an offer that sounds too good to be true, like a rock-bottom price on expensive or hard-to-find     merchandise.
•  You are the winning bid in an online auction and are dealing with a seller who will only accept a money     transfer as payment.
•  You're told you've won a lottery or prize, but have to pay taxes or fees before you can collect.
•  Someone responds to your ad claiming they have found your lost pet or jewelry and asks you to send money     for shipping or a reward.
•  You're selling merchandise and receive a check for much more than your asking price, but are asked to send     the extra amount back through money transfer.
•  You're offered a low-cost loan but must pre-pay fees or the first few loan payments using money transfer     services.
•  You get a call from someone claiming to be a police officer or a hospital employee asking for money for the bail     or medical treatment of a loved one.

Ensure:

•   Know the person you're sending money to.
•   Buy goods and services from known and trusted sources.
•   Avoid paying for online auction purchases through money transfer.
•  Use extra caution if buying or selling items to someone outside of your country, especially when buying     popular, high-dollar,items.
•  Discontinue any transaction if someone coaches you on how to respond to questions asked by Remit2India.     This is a sure sign of fraud.
•  Check with the Better Business Bureau if you are suspicious of a business.

Keep in Mind:

•   The Remit2India Money Transfer service is a great way to send money to people you know and trust.
•   It isn't intended to send money to someone you don't know.
•  Remit2India doesn't provide an escrow service and isn't responsible for the quality or non-receipt of any     goods or services.
•  Sending money using a fictitious receiver name won't protect you when doing business with a stranger. Don't     do it.
•  Where available, the "Test Question" feature is designed for emergency situations where the receiver will     not have proper identification. It should never be used as additional security to time or delay payment of a     transaction.

More tips and guide lines to protect yourself from online frauds.

We at Remit2India practice and implement the best measures for safety and security of your remittance transaction. As our continuous endeavor of educating customers, we would like you to go through the following additional tips for online fraud protection:

Identity Theft - Tips to Avoid

•  Guard your financial information. Only provide your credit card or bank account number when you are     actually paying for something with it.
•  Keep your social security number confidential. It's the key that unlocks your identity. Don't give it to     anyone unless you're sure who it is and why it's necessary to provide it.
•  Beware of imposters. Crooks pretending to be from companies you do business with may call or send an     email, claiming they need to verify your personal information. Be especially suspicious if someone contacts     you and asks you to provide information they should already have. Before responding, contact the company     directly to confirm the call or email is from them.
•  Keep your mail safe. Your mail contains account numbers and other personal information. Collect it     promptly from your mailbox and ask the post office to hold it if you're going away.
•  Memorize your passwords and PIN numbers. Don't leave them in your wallet or on your desk where     someone else could find them.
•  Lock it up. Keep your personal information locked up at home, at work, at school, in your car, and other     places where you might keep it so others won't have easy access to it.
•  Stay safe online. Don't send sensitive information such as credit card numbers by email, since it's not     secure. Look for clues about security on Web sites. At the point where you are asked to provide your     financial or other sensitive information, the letters at the beginning of the address bar at the top of the     screen should change from "http" to "https" or "shttp." Your browser may also show that the information is     being encrypted, or scrambled, so no one who might intercept it can read it. But while your information may     be safe in transmission, that's no guarantee that the company will store it securely. See what Web sites say     about how your information is safeguarded in storage.
•  If you are on active duty in the military, put an active duty alert on your credit files. The alert     will stay in your files for at least 12 months. If someone applies for credit in your name, the creditors will take     extra precautions to make sure that the applicant is not someone pretending to be you. Just contact one of     the three major credit bureaus to place the active duty alert; it will be shared automatically with the other     two: Equifax, 800-525-6285, TDD 800-255-0056, www.equifax.com; Experian, 888-397-3742, TDD 800-972-    0322, www.experian.com; TransUnion, 800-680-7289, TDD 877-553-7803, www.transunion.com.
•  Help for victims is a phone call or a click away. Call the Federal Trade Commission toll-free, 877-438-    4338, or go to www.consumer.gov/idtheft for step-by-step advice about what to do if you're a victim of ID     theft.

Prizes and Sweepstakes

•  Be cautious about emails for contests and sweepstakes.Many unsolicited emails are fraudulent.
•  Guard your credit card and bank account numbers.No legitimate sweepstakes company will ask for     this information.
•  Be on guard for imposters.Some con artists use company names that are identical or very similar to well-    known, legitimate sweepstakes operators. Tell them that you'll get back to them and contact the real     companies to ask if there is any connection.
•  Be wary of offers to send you an "advance" on your "winnings." Some con artists use this ploy to     build trust and get money from your bank. They send you a check for part of your "winnings," instructing you     to deposit it and then wire payment to them for taxes, bonding, or some other phony purpose. The bank tells     you the check has cleared because the normal time has passed to be notified that checks have bounced.     After you wire the money, the check that you deposited finally bounces because it turned out to be an     elaborate fake. Now the crooks have your payment, and you're left owing your bank the amount that you     withdrew.

Get all the details. Legitimate sweepstakes companies will tell you exactly how the contest works, including the odds of winning, the value of the prizes, the date that the contest ends, and how you can find out who won.
