What can i do about a possible fraud detected when buying insurance on-line?


I have just purchased travel insurance from www.onetravelinsurance.co.uk , I paid with my debit card and printed off the certificate. They were also sending a copy of the certificate to my email address but when i opened it it said on the bottom in red letters MAIL FILTER HAS DETECTED A POSSIBLE FRAUD ATTEMPT FROM b2c.onetravelinsurance.co.uk CLAIMING TO BE www.onetravelinsurance.co.uk

I have phoned the insurance company to inform them and also forwarded the email/certificate but what i want to know is should i be doing anything else?

I entered the fraud address and it took me to a page exactly the same as One Travel Insurance. Please help!!!!

It wasn't a pop-up and i have anti spyware on pc.

The mail filter doesn't like the subdomain.

b2c.onetravelinsurance.co.uk - the subdomain. The program doesn't realize that people use subdomains for legit reasons and is warning you, because it thinks it should say: onetravelinsurance.co.uk. Since everything matches -

It's fine.

grinning

just means that a hacker is trying to steal info from you or a Bot is hacking your puter....

You can get virus software to protect against this. These scammers get your info this way, and take off with your credit card , etc info. so be careful!!!!

The fraud filter on your mail client is a bit overenthusiastic! That's probably not a bad thing. b2c stands for business to consumer and it is a payment system. One Travel have been a bit careless with their certificates and your mail client has noticed that you bought the goods through a www site and paid through a b2c site.

I don't know One Travel so I can't guarantee that you haven't been defrauded, but the certificate problem is not serious.

Nowaday, fraud site (we called FS) is a disaster to everyone when they surf the web. FS are created just to fake a popular website, and to fake the users to enter their sensitive personal information. They'll be told lie, and going to be stolen money and others if they offer their bank accounts.
How to prevent?
What browser you are using? If you're using Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, throw away! This software doesn't have the ability to stop FS. To go with IE7 at http://www.microsoft.com or with firefox at http://www.mozilla.org
How if you detect a FS?
Easy, go to Help menu in your browser, click report fishing site or report fraud site or report forgery site, meaning you've informed the producer of your browser about webs, or emails which are written in FS. They will add that web to their black list, and all users will be warned when they attemped to access to the site.
Also, FS goes with virus. Get an antivirus program from http://www.avast.com or http://www.kaspersky.com
Good luck
