Guest casper508 Posted September 22, 2003 Report Posted September 22, 2003 Hi guys n gals. A friend of mine bought some weightloss products for her mom from THIS site. After making the payment with her debit card she has received an email asking her to fill up and fax a credit card authorization form along with THE FRONT N BACK COPY OF HER DEBIT CARD. Now I haven't heard of this site before and sending someone your card details like that sounds very dodgy to me. I would like to know if any of the members or someone they know here have bought anything from this site and have had to do the above. Thanks Cas
Guest goinnuts Posted September 22, 2003 Report Posted September 22, 2003 never send front and back of your card, as can be used to clone your card. on the back is a 3 digit code, that is needed to purchase things online or over the phone.
Guest casper508 Posted September 22, 2003 Report Posted September 22, 2003 I know. Thats why I'm tryin to find out if they are authentic. I'll ask her to mail em and ask for another from of authorization. Cas
Guest blewer Posted September 22, 2003 Report Posted September 22, 2003 No mate, don't send a thing. Sounds a bit dodgy to me.
Guest Will Posted September 22, 2003 Report Posted September 22, 2003 OK. some american sites require physical proof of the card, especially if they use AVS (address verification systems). I've had to do this for setting accounts up with LARGE established companies.. but i CHOSE to obscure the numbers on the reverse. They never came back to me to request them. Personally for a shop based on yahoo, ie not running it's own secure servers etc/having a merchant parner, i'd be worried full stop about ordering with a debit card (a credit card is much safer). and immediately the card transaction is complete, i would request a new card from my issuer. (hence meaning they cannot use the card details again. Will
Guest Will Posted September 22, 2003 Report Posted September 22, 2003 Contact Yahoo if unsure, as they seem to be the merchant partner for this company. Enclosing the email requesting this.. a response from yahoo would be interesting. Will
Guest casper508 Posted September 22, 2003 Report Posted September 22, 2003 Point taken blewer n Will. Cas
Guest casper508 Posted September 29, 2003 Report Posted September 29, 2003 Sent them a email where I gave them a piece of my mind regarding CC copies. The goods arrived today, no questions asked. ;) Cas
Guest blewer Posted September 29, 2003 Report Posted September 29, 2003 Good boy, that's what we like to hear :wink:
