Serious Debit Card / Credit Card Question - UK / EU - GoFuckYourself.com

Smack dat · 05-12-2017, 04:03 PM

This might sound dumb but I tend to give my debit card details out several times a day and it got me thinking.

Say I wanted to book a hotel, not online but over the phone.

They ask a few simple questions.

16 digit card #
Expiry date
Name on Card
Postcode and House Number
3 Digit security code.

I give these no problem.

Where is the secuity if I was giving these details to a thief? This person could write down by info or that of 100's of other people they deal with every day and use the info to buy stuff on and offline.

Not sure why you don't see more fraud like this.

Fraud like this does exist. ;-)

And its massive.

Your credit card company protects you, the consumer. They go after the thief, when they can.

this...

that´s why you have chargeback, it´s insurance against the user using the card with fraud.

Don´t forget, they will be caught using the card if it´s for an online purchase, whether, where the product was sent or the users home address details would be stored.

You couldn´t purchase anything in a shop or holding without the actual card, it´s only the online purchase

You are not smart enough.

Don't do it.

I'm serious.

You will fuck up your entire life.

Leave this to the professionals
