Using Ukash Safely

A popular online payment method used by many people around the world is Ukash. Let’s look at how to use Ukash safely and securely.

Ukash is simply an online payment method that is used like cash. It is easy and quick to get Ukash as it is available at nearly a half million outlets around the world in 55 countries. You simply get a 19-digit Ukash code and use it to make purchases, load e-wallets, transfers, etc. The Ukash codes can be purchased at retail outlets around the world and then used online. Every Ukash code is totally unique but it must be protected.

When you have a Ukash code it is really like having cash in your hand. You never want to give that code to someone you don’t know or to a merchant you don’t trust. There have been some scams targeting Ukash customers but there should be no reason for those scams to work if you remember a few things.

First, treat Ukash like having cash in your hand. Don’t give out your codes to anyone unless you trust them. Second, only use Ukash at trusted Ukash websites. Third, never give out your code to anyone if they call asking for it or if they email asking for it. Fourth, don’t give out your code or use it at ‘exchange’ sites and lastly, check out the Ukash website for the latest information on staying safe.

It also helps when you are making online transactions to beware of ‘Phishing’ emails that ask for personal information and when you buy something make sure the padlock icon is on the screen which shows the secure status of your transaction.
