Know how your browser tells you that you have a secure connection - look for the padlock symbol or change of coloured address bar or whatever it is.
If you don't have a secure connection don't trust that site with your details.
They either can't be bothered, in which case they don't deserve your custom, or they're a fake.
Even if it is a secure connection make sure you click on the padlock symbol or similar to check that the site is registered to who you think it is.
The 11th scam of Christmas is the Man In The Middle (MiTM)
A Man in the Middle add-on may be watching over everything you are doing
There is no point in having a secure connection to your bank or shopping site if there is a piece of software sitting on your machine that can read all of the data before it is secured for transmission.
A particularly common MiTM scam is for a "helper" application that has been installed to make your life easier when using your browser.
This helper may be helping itself to anything you enter on the screen.
The safest way to avoid this is to ensure that you have no "add-ins" running.
If you know how, you can try this by manually configuring your browser but there are tools available, often from the banks free of charge, to do this for you.
