Abstract: Complaints from Internet users about online shopping scams have increased significantly in recent years. An indication of the trustworthiness of a store can be obtained by a user on the basis of a number of trust indicators, such as available payment methods or availability and correctness of contact information. In this paper, we analyzed the behavior of 646 participants during online shopping with regards to non-technical trust indicators. Our work is based on an online shopping simulation study including one trustworthy and two scam store imitations. By automatically tracking the participants’ behavior, we found that only a minority of users pay attention to trust indicators and most participants of the study purchased in an obvious scam store (28%) – most likely due to its lower prices. Personal (age, gender, educational level, frequency of online purchase or Internet usage at work) and contextual (time pressure) factors did not significantly influence the choice.
