As behemoth online merchants, such as Amazon.com and Zappos.com, step up their services to include deep discounts, free shipping, overnight delivery and, in some cases, free return shipping, their competitors are forced to follow suit. But with every great innovation comes a risk. Online shopping has a big one: con- sumer debt. Face it. You cannot pay with cash over the Internet, and it's not easy to write a check. Even when you pay directly from your bank account via an electronic check, debit card, Pay- Pal or Bill Me Later (a service that allows you to make your online pur- chase and pay by sending a check through the mail or electronically), you run the risk of being charged a fee for the service. You also don't have all of the same legal protections that you have when paying with a credit card. Federal law provides great consumer protection when it comes to the fraud- ulent use of a credit card, and it pro- tects you, the cardholder, if what you buy doesn't show up, the merchant Police reports The following informa- tion is compiled from Red Bluff Police Department, Tehama County Sheriff’s Department, Corning Police Department and California Highway Patrol. Arrests • Miguel Morales, 27, of Sacramento was arrested Saturday on Main Street at Highway 36 in Red Bluff.

The best way to shop online is with a credit card, but only if you pay the balance down to $0 every single month. If you allow your balance to roll from one month to the next, adding new pur- chases to the existing bal- ance, your purchases will accrue double-digit inter- est from the moment you complete the transaction. You'll be digging your debt hole deeper with every new purchase. Here's an easy way to retain all of the benefits of paying online with a cred- it card without running the risk of falling into debt: Open a credit card account, and keep the bal- Mary Hunt ance at $0. Use it strictly as a bank account. If you do not have a credit card that you pay down to $0 every month, go to http://www.IndexCreditCards.com or http://www.CardTrak.com to apply for a no-fee MasterCard or Visa. Use this account only for online payments. Before you make an online purchase, tered his wife. A search of Cameron’s person found a usable amount of metham- phetamine in his pockets.

Burglary • Almost $5,000 worth of items were reported taken between 8 a.m. on July 15 and 10:30 a.m. Sunday from a storage unit on Highway 99E in Los Molinos. Melissa Pelfrey moved to Oregon and had her property in the storage unit.

No other units appear to have been broken into. • Cheryl McCormick reported between 6 p.m. Friday and 8 p.m. Sunday someone had entered an outbuilding in the 4200 block of Kopta Road in Corning and stole items valued about $2,080.

Collision • James Beckwith, 24, of Gerber was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence following a collision at 5:30 p.m. Sat- urday on San Benito Avenue at Worthington Avenue. Beckwith, driving east on the north Levy Road of Elder Creek, came to a stop at San Benito. He was trying to cross San Benito toward Worthington Ave, but due to his level of intoxication didn’t see Corning resident Della Tucker’s vehicle going north on the Elder Creek Bridge on San Benito. The two vehicles collided caus- ing moderate damage to Beckwith’s vehicle and minor to Tucker’s. No one was injured. Crash • Joshua Mote, 28, of Everyday Cheapskate send a check to the card company in the amount you plan to spend. Make sure you note your account number clearly and send it to the correct address. Once that payment shows up in your account as a credit balance, you're good to go. Just make sure you do not overspend your available bal- ance and you never will pay a nickel in interest or fees. A word of caution: Your credit card issuer may not be keen on your carrying a per- petual credit balance. So do not allow this account to grow. Use it as a manage- ment tool. Plan carefully how much you will need to spend to cover an intended pur- chase. Once you've made the purchase, allow the balance to drop to $0 until your next planned online shopping trip.
