I was just about to order a tesco mobile sim from this site

http://www.tescomobilepaymonthly.com/ but my zonealarm firewall said it was a suspicious site.
When I went to the 'checkout' to order it, I noticed there was no gold padlock at the bottom of the screen.
This seems odd, given that tesco is a big company.
Should I proceed or is it risky.

Sorry to sound dense, but help appreciated.

Thank you

    A domain search indicates its definitely a Tesco Site.

    I wouldn't personally go on Tesco Mobile

    Rubbish Customer service and poor reception in a number of places

    Not the best 'value' as it were, either!

    Reception will be the same as O2 as they use their network.

    Customer service is !!!! from all networks.
