Always make sure a website is using HTTPS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Secure - visible in the address bar of your browser by either a lock at the right or left or a green background in the address bar) before giving important/sensitive information to a website like credit card information.
If that isn't the case, it's most likely a scam, so don't use it.
Unfortunately, there are still online shops that don't use HTTPS... :/
