Be careful of this site, bunch of robbing gets.

They adverise for one thing, give you something completely different and charge you more than they quote.

They've diddled me out of 52.00 recently. The bank have tried to get the money back but can't. There's loads of stuff on the internet about their dodgy practices. If only I'd have researched them first!

I thought Dick Turpin was dead!!

Take a look at installing the Web of Trust browser plug-in Frank.

Website raters aren't infallible, but it might help you determine what is a scam and what isn't.

And NEVER pay for anything online with a debit card. If it gets scammed it will be your account that gets emptied and you will be the one without any cash until it gets sorted, not to mention the hassle.

Whereas with a credit card the money is taken from the CC company.
