On the other side of things, I've recently encountered internet vendors who're reassuring customers that they use HTTPS for online ordering. But when I've ordered something from them they've e-mailed me asking for proof of ownership of the card - they either want a fax, or for me to e-mail a scanned image of my credit card.

When I ask them they say that their bank is requiring this to combat fraud.

I'd really like to know which bank is insisting that customers send credit card info over e-mail - even if it is somewhat obfuscated.

Most don't. Even most pronted receipts don't include all the numbers of your credit card any more - but some still do. Few, but a number >1.
