As somebody else here pointed out, scan or pohotocopy of the CC does not give the shop any protection in the eyes of Visa for example.
But IT WORKS. That means the number of people who contact Visa with fraud issues emanating from transactions with B&H is lower than it would be otherwise.
If they think that it's safe to trust s scan or photocopy and thus think that the person actually has the card, then the shops are more stupid than I have thought they are.
It's not stupid if it works. What'd be stupid is to dump a safe, prudent effective, unintrusive precaution.
Well you should get the idea... the practice doesn't give any security
The fact that IT WORKS proves that it does.
- it just puts the customers CC info to very unsecure situation.
Not so -- as i said no one who's complied as EVER reported a subsequent violation.
Making a complicate system for the customer doesn't give security. It just gives false sense of security
But it's not complicated and since it's effective, it's not <false>.
Still waiting for B&H to check their security practices,
Been there. We do all the time. -- -
