Dealers asking for CC scans

[Admin Team]

It has recently come to the Admin teams attention that at least one dealer has been asking for credit card scans.

We have spoken to the dealer in question and are satisfied that he has no malevolent reason for this but arose out of situations where he lost a lot of money to scammers.

However the team still feels strongly that (i) Asking for scans of members credit cards is fundamentally wrong and (ii) A credit card scan will not protect a dealer from a professional scammer anyway.

We will therefore be contacting all dealers and directing them to this posting and we ask the members to make us aware if this practice continues.

Thank you

Admin Team.

In all fairness to the dealers, I have been asked for a cc scan when buying over the phone from a shop in a tourist destination on the west coast of Canada a few years ago. If I hadn't worked there in the distant past and didn't know the owner personally, I probably would have said no, and taken my business elsewhere. At the time, they were getting a lot of chargebacks from people claiming never to have been on vacation there, so staff had been instructed to protect the shop.
