Caveat Emptor is latin for "let the buyer beware" and is the basic idea that a buyer should closely examine every item and purchase they make as if they are about to be ripped off, making purchasing safer.
I gave my credit card number to some website to purchase something and the owner charged up my card. Well, as they say; Caveat Emptor.
