Thumbs down WARNING: Websites that are not Secure!

More and more websites are popping up stating that they are secure when you are purchasing goods or services. Here's a list of what to check for; if none of these are showing DO NOT enter your credit card details.
  1. The site's web address (URL) is showing as http:// and not https://
  2. There is no 'padlock' showing in the browser (Internet Explorer).
  3. If an offer sounds to good to be true, then it probably is a scam.
If in any doubt contact us first, with the address and we will investigate for you.

This is a typical website that would probably take your credit card details, including your name and address - and you would never see your goods.
