    Very useful info:) Thank You! But to my mind very important is when website has any trustmarks (so, is verified by special security services) - e.g. ITMSecure. I'm confident about the site if I see ITMSecure trustmark there.

    Nice and useful information, especially for those who are new to this. I agree with Ella_Z, trustmarks usually gives me the green light, among others. :)
