Discontinuednamebrandyarn.com....secure website? >>

I don't see anything on the site, including the checkout page that says that it is secure. I'm very leery about putting financial info on a site that doesn't have more protection.

Anyone?

i believe that it is secure, but remember, if there is a phone number, call them and start interrogating.

Or call and place your order over the phone...

I've ordered from the "yarn girls" several times and never had any 'puter problems that I know of. The only thing that holds me back is there high s/h charges.

Secure websites indicate that they are, usually very clearly on the checkout page.
What makes you believe that it is secure?

It is a secured checkout. When in the cart page, the address begins with HTTPS:\\ that extra S stands for Secure. Also at the bottom of your screen there should be a padlock icon that when you hover over it tells you the site has 128-bit encryption. Of course, if you are still unsure, it is always best to go with your gut.

Well, there is no padlock icon, but I had forgotten about the https deal. Thanks!

Thanks for this information! I didn't know any of this...

I can't seem to get to the site-- I keep getting a no-domain response. Is it just me?. . .
