dommysam Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Placed an order yesterday and received an email today saying: "Thank you for your new order. We found that your order XXXXXXXXXXX did pay with your credit card. To safeguard your interests and ours, please confirm whether this order is placed by you or with your instruction and need you to provide clearly photos of front and back of your credit card, In order to protect the security of your card, you could just show the front 6 number and the last 4 numbers of the card ID and show us the your signature on your card back. Please notice that the signature should be shown clearly. You may check the picture below for reference." (The order number has been blanked out by me, the email is correct). This sounds dodgy, I've never been asked this by a retailer before. Any previous customers had the same happen? Dom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 If you do this, be sure to also cover the backside of the creditcard, becuse the card is stamped and if you dont cover the stamped digets on the back they can read the hole creditcard nr. I have done this on another webshop NOT on this one, so i dont know if they are legit! But people dont think about the backside of the card thats way i just wanted to warn you about that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gt rider Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Good question. I've never paid by CC but I've never had issues with priceangels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Unless you know the seller very well, I would not show them your signature. & only in cases where the seller is well known would I give them the security code on the back. If in doubt, find another seller (preferably, 1 of those listed on RWG). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtguk Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Never dealt with them but Z is def on the money with the credit card, never been asked for this though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B3nj4min3 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 This doesn't smell right. I can't imagine why they would be asking for all of these things. The signature is particularly disturbing. After-all, what do they want the signature for? They have nothing to compare it with to ensure you really are who you claim to be. It seems far more likely that they want to clone the card and hence want your signature so if there's any future disputes they are more likely to get away with it. I'd walk away from this deal as it doesn't seem above-board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush2112 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 I wouldn't do it. Dealers should be using card processors and not storing your info at all. The numbers should be routed directly to a separate entity. I had fraud on a card last month directly after (same day) of making a purchase through TD. I'm sure it was not the TD since I have used them before with no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shirotenshi Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Had used price angel but not such experience like urs. Just use PayPal paying with ur credit card instead. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike on a bike Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 DO NOT do that!! No F**KEN way no reason for that you are going to get your card compromised. If they need that find another place to buy ,end of story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraggle42 Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 All credit card transactions that are done in person they ask for the card to check the signature against the signature on the CC receipt that they send to the clearing house.So if the transaction has been done online or by chip and pin there is no need (and no point) in seeing the signature.If its an online CC transaction I wouldn't send them a picture of the signature, but a picture proving that the card is a genuine one (front of card with part of the number obscured) sounds like just a validity check by the seller.

Mike on a bike Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Maybe fraggle sounds plausible but I wouldn't give them shit , they think you are not legit fine take your biz elsewhere. Use PP all the time guys play it safe! I know some of our TD's are not using PP due to jerks but we know them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
