Strange, if you click through they also give you the option to "Return to regular (not secure) mode"

Was there also a box checked by default titled "Please share my credit card information with 3rd parties"?

Just a little safety tip. Get a pre-paid cash card such as AMX Gift Card or their Traveler Check Card. or from Visa which has similar options. Only put in a small amount and use that card for your online purchases. That way if someone lifts your card, you'll only be out what was on the card, and there's a good chance the card will have safety measures as well and there's no danger of identity theft.

haha ... I've seen that around ... I can't remember where, but was it a flower shop? Anyhow, I remember my brother used the site and didn't notice that link and yes, his card got used in Britain - but he was lucky and the credit card company reembursed him.

On the topic of going that "extra step". I generally use Discover Card's "Secure Online Account Numbers". These are one time use numbers for use online. That way if anyone get's ahold of the CC number it doesn't much matter. Though I still would never use a site without a secure server.
