SSL security error

[QueBert]

I was adding an item to my cart and Chrome said the site's security certificate is not trusted and not to proceed. So just out of curiosity I tried in Firefox and got no warning. I went back to Chrome and hit proceed any ways and the domain was still showing as as the same - shop.iforcenutrition.com. But I didn't actually do anything beyond that, I also tried IE with no problem.

I tried to notify them using the feedback form but that gave me an error about unable to send. Is Chrome just being overly paranoid here? If I only used Firefox I never would have known and placed the order like normal. Perhaps someone here who uses Chrome could try going to their shop and adding an item and tell me if they get the same SSL error? it comes up for me as soon as I hit add to cart.

More often than not you'll see these messages because the web host didn't use a certified root SSL certificate, and went with a self-signed one. There's nothing wrong with this... it's just the route most phishing sites go, since it's so cheap to do it this way.

If you trust the site, then this is probably fine.

Thanks for the replies, it was late when I posted this and I forgot to mention 1 thing. On the 10th I was poking around the site and added the items to my cart (but didn't buy) and I didn't get the warning.

*EDIT* n/m I found a number and called, just Chrome being paranoid they just started switching their certificate the other day.
