I've been watching this thread with (I must confess) some real amazement.First of all, why do you think a scan or fax image of a CC will make it more real? We all have photoshops here! Surely, you have better ways to validate the card.. for instance against the address and even asking from the CC company - I do not know, but I really can't believe that this faxed image of a CC would make it more real somehow.
I've been watching this thread with amazement also. All these people complaining and how many of them have been actually contacted by B&H's Verification department? I did when I was living in Japan, and it was NOT SOME BIG DEAL.
They send you an email with some of instructions, foremost of which is that you call them, which I did, and never had to fax a copy of my credit card. I don't recall seeing an option to email a scan of the CC. I just answered some questions the verifier asked and that was that. My order was put in immediately and shipped out that same day.
The perceived inconvenience was more than the actual hassle, which was far less painful than a phone call to the cable company or phone company. As someone who has been a victim of credit card fraud three times from in-person retail outlets, the B&H Verification Dept. procedures are a trifle compared to filing police reports, giving depositions, and going to line-ups.
