Hi Alex
Like you, I work without sight on web pages, so don't know either. But one
tip perhaps to pass on is that my bank advised me many years ago to use a
credit card rather than a debit card when ordering online. They explained
that you have more protection with a credit card. Their logic was that if
you are being defrauded with a debit card, the money will come straight out
of your bank account.
I'm not sure how true this is, or whether it was a ploy on their part to get
me to use a credit card, but I have since heard that their advice was sound.

Hi
I was listening to something on BBC breakfast about the 25% rise in
credit/debit card fraud and online fraud. The person being interviewed
said
that if you purchase something online you should generally be safe,
particularly so if you see a padlock when you go to the ordering page.
I've
heard of SSL security and secure sites, but is there anything else that I
should watch out for that jaws is telling me. I don't have any sight at
all
so it sounds as if this padlock thing is an icon or a picture of some sort
on screen, so anything that people can give me that reassures me would be
gratefully accepted.
