Question

How do I find out if a online sight is legit before I order from it, do any one know?

Answer 1

you can check it out on the bbb or there are a few yahoo groups that discuss small online biz

Answer 2

also i always check ripoffreport.com...

Answer 3

as far as security goes?

it should read HTTPS before the site, make sure the "s" is there, and doesnt just read HTTP.  also, on the bottom right corner of the window, you should see a padlock icon.

i dont just look for this when im entering my credit card info, i also make sure i see these before logging onto my online bank.  it prevents phishing.
