First thing to look for from a supplier that you are buying from a secure site look for the padlock in the bottom right corner of the website and for the website address to begin with ‘https:// before giving any details if in any doubts leave. Don’t be fooled by a padlock that appears on the web page itself. It’s easy to copy the image of a padlock. You need to look for one that is in the window frame of the browser itself.

Just because it’s a good looking website it does not mean that it’s genuine, see how old the site is in other words its not here today and gone tomorrow. Look for contact details see how easy it would be to get a hold of the supplier in the event that things go wrong.

When buying if it looks to good to be true then it probably is not, go and check the information and price from other websites again if in doubt just leave. Sad to say that like all walks of life there loads of con-men out there so be wary of so called bargain deals.
