Something very few people know is that if you buy online, you have to check BOTH of these:
1. You must see a padlock in the browser
2. ALSO you must verify the the URL is exactly right, for example ******** not amazoon.com
also:
- never do buying, selling or banking over a wireless connection
- use only large, known vendors like Amazon, play.com, John Lewis
- get the latest free patches from ******** /> - use an antivirus package
These few things might help but nothing is secure online or offline. 
Some great tips, thanks! I never even thought about wireless danger and I love buying from Amazon... Scary what can happen though!
Nightowl that sounds like a horror story. Maybe thats why the suggestion of an Internet Minister of Safety isn't half bad. At least there would be a department co-ordinating everyone.
