ONE FINAL TIP – Many people are concerned about using their credit card for
paying for services on the Internet, such as buying airline tickets for instance. If sites
such as Qantas and Virgin were not secure, then they would soon be out of business.
Generally speaking, to check whether a site is secure, always look for the address
beginning with https instead of http, and always look for a locked padlock icon
in the bottom-right corner of your screen. This is not an absolute
guarantee that the sight is secure as some fraudsters have succeeded in setting up scam
sites with similar features. As always, caveat emptor.
