 MYTH.  Buying textbooks online is always safe

According to the Internet Crime Complaint Center’s 2008 Annual Report, complaints of online

fraud hit an all time high last year, increasing by 33.1% over the previous year. The report states that

the average individual lost approximately $931.

Clearly, students opting to purchase textbooks from various online sites must be wary of these

 threats. To avoid being victimized by online fraud, students should:

 

• Purchase textbooks from their college store’s web site, if available.
• Order textbooks in advance through their college store.
• Purchase textbooks and other course materials directly from the college bookstore

• Receiving the wrong product in poor condition due to a misleading description or
• Receiving books late or not at all.
• Being unable to return books easily. Purchasing textbooks online is NOT always safe. Students should take action to avoid.
