Thank you Beverly. Indeed, I now trust the web site. While messing around in Safari Show All History, I found several lines with "https," although I did not see that security indicator in real time. It appears that security kicks in when the URL includes "direct/ controller.block. " So I made my transaction. Then, in a second round of email where I mentioned specific absence of "https" and padlock, the response included this: "TracFone Wireless assures our customer that we have secure transactions online."
