Tomm Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 You can tell if you're on a secure web page really easily: If you're using IE, there will be a little padlock in the bottom-right of the screen like this: If you're on Firefox, the address bar turns a different colour (I think yellow is default but it changes depending on what theme you're using) and there is a padlock to the right of the address bar: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siders77 Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 I dunno if this is right but isn't it someting to do with the http:// bit, when you're on a secure site it changes to https:// :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smo™ Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Those signs will appear usually on their 'checkout'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMonkey Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Check for a little padlock icon near the "Checkout" button, if you click on that it should come up with something that will include things about credit cards etc, but in a good way, not "We are going to steal your credit card details."

TomN Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Yer as others said padlock, or https. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 It'll only come up on the page where you put the card details in, pages for entering information like name, address, email etc are usually not secure. There are other secure protocols besides https, but I don't know if they ever get used. Either way, just look for the padlock :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram Posted November 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 when i go to the credit card page bit theres nothing like it :angry: that mean some ones gonna steal my card details? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 when i go to the credit card page bit theres nothing like it :angry: that mean some ones gonna steal my card details? Possibly. Unlikey, but then again what kind of site doesn't have secure ordering? I would probably avoid them, or ring them up if you think they're kosher.

that NBR dude Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 When you go to checkout, at the top there are the 3 steps in purchase. It has a little symbol of a padlock by the 'Payment Details' and 'Oder confirmation' tabs, saying its on a secure server. Theres nothing to worry about on that site :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoot Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 I really dont get this, i posted earlier on yesterday what they have as there privecy policy, yet your still saying you don't know wether or not it is secure :turned: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't mean the site is legit at all? Argh it probably is, there seems to be far more money in legal internet shops than scamming people.
