For your own security, please read before clicking
Proceed to Payment:
It has come to our notice that a very small number
of people with insufficient security on their PC's may have been infected
with a virus causing bogus Popup windows to appear in front of the payment
page of some shopping carts (which then 'fish' for confidential information
if you type into them). To ensure that you are not caught out by these
bogus Popup windows, please remember:
(1) NEVER enter card details into a Popup window. Only
ever enter them into the body of the secure payment page that opens
(except, if you have registered for Verified By Visa or Secure Code
programs with Visa / MasterCard, when you will be prompted for ONLY
a security password, in a small popup window - this is valid).
(2) NEVER enter your 4-digit ATM PIN number into any
web page - no genuine shopping cart will ever ask for your PIN number!
(3) ALWAYS make sure that when you have clicked Proceed
to Payment you can see the secure padlock symbol either in the header
or footer bar of the payment page that opens. The secure page will also
begin https:// with the 's' meaning secure.
We should point out that we have had NO reports of this
happening to any users of this Hounslow Animal Welfare Society facility
- this is a general web-wide precaution and applies to all shopping
carts on all websites. Hope this information helps
you to be web-wise and shop safely online.
