Does HTTPS mean a website is trustworthy?
Explain it like I'm 16
HTTPS protects the connection between your browser and a website. It does not prove that the people running the website are honest.
A real-world example
An encrypted connection is like a sealed delivery envelope. It protects the contents during delivery, but the person receiving the envelope could still be a scammer.

Common misunderstanding
A padlock or secure-connection indicator is not a guarantee of safe products, accurate information or a legitimate payment request.
