First Post so be easy on me please as i dont know how to start a new thread

My question is this, i am not buying the phone but tying myself into a contract. this means that i have to put my visa debit card details into the website, what protection do i have if they are fraudsters and is it possible for them to empty my bank account if i am setting up a standing order?
Any review on the site and protection i receive would be appreciated.
thanks
Starting a thread is as easy as clicking on the BIG BLUE BUTTON.
That says NEW THREAD.
Now, not being nasty. But please start a new thread in the mobile phone section HERE
As you will get a far better answer.
Personally avoid that site and go direct to a phone provider.
Go via a chashback site like quidco (others avaiable) and what you pay extra a month can be had back in cashback.
As to fraud.
Well everytime you give a company your details. You are open to it.Never ASSUME anything its makes a>>> A55 of U & ME <<<0
