Shop Safely
Millions of safe online transactions occur daily, but it’s important to use common sense when shopping online.
If you’re uncertain about a retailer’s integrity, it’s best to first see what others have to say about them by reading our reviews.
Look for the padlock
Whenever you buy something online, you’ll be taken to secure payment pages that display a padlock icon. Never buy anything from a site that doesn’t display a padlock or that you suspect is unsecure.
Telltale signs
Sites that are riddled with spelling errors, fail to list their contact details, or that make sweeping price promises that seem too good to be true are best avoided. Trust your instincts.
