That is garbage. You are paranoid. I have conducted thousands of online
transactions, and never had a problem. You have a much better chance of
getting robbed on your way home from the bank. And if people continue to
think that the "money order" via Snail mail is a valid transaction
method..well...you will be left behind. It is far less secure than an
online transaction. Youjust need to use a password that is secure.
The above statement is similar to stating "I will never fly...it's just not
safe!" Even though flying is still 1000x safer than driving.
