Whenever you buy anything over the internet you should check that the payment provider pages are genuine.
Here are some guidelines to help you protect yourself while internet shopping.
They apply to all your sensitive internet transactions - not just to those with Arts and Designs.
Never give sensitive information - like your card details - to anyone whose identity you are unsure of.
If you are providing sensitive information, the address shown on your browser should start with https:. Most browsers highlight this with a graphic. (The 's' denotes that a secure connection has been established between your browser and the remote server).
Check that the address field is what you were expecting. For example, https://www.artsanddesigns.com... https://www.paypal.com/... https:://checkout.google.com
