You should never shop online on sites with just an “HTTP” URL

Specialists recommend that you should never buy online things on sites with an ‘http’ URL. You have to keep in mind that only ‘https’ websites are safe for introducing your personal data, namely your credit card numbers because the ‘s’ from the URL shows the level of security. 

“Only transmit personal data on websites that are https. The ‘s’ indicates a higher level of security. Nowadays, all the reputable e-commerce sites are https – including Amazon, Walmart, Target, and Google, plus the major airlines, banks, car rentals, hospitals, social services, and hotel chains. Most scam sites, however, are http (no ‘s’ at the end), because http sites are cheaper than https sites. So, if you receive an email solicitation to use at a website that’s http, be extra careful. It could be a fraud attempt,” said Monica Eaton-Cardone, COO of Chargebacks911.
