I was thinking the same. For sure with large sites, like Amazon. Fly by nighters...not so sure. But it’s pretty easy to tell. If the site has a large selection and all of its links work - it’s almost always safe. It’s just too much work and money for the bad guys to bother with.

Your credit card number can be stolen off the Internet....someone on the other is processing the transaction. Also, its easy for the crooks to intercept Wi-Fi and wireless transmissions....even when encrypted
