A website that says it's secure is secure..right?

Just like the the Double Glazing salesman, don't believe a word. The easiest way to distinguish a secure site is check out the web address. If the address reads https instead of http, it’s secure.

You've found what your looking for online but you've never heard of the company, what can you do to protect yourself.
First of all check to see if they have an office in the UK, somewhere you can contact if anything goes wrong. Do they have a telephone number? Both of these but still unsure? Search for them online but Instead of using Google use www.alexa.com.

Alexa will give you information about how long the site has been up, who it is registered to and gives you reviews.

Always use a credit card and then you are covered if anything goes wrong.
