10/10 done this test before

Watched a documentry on phishing scams and identity theft the other night, every 4 seconds on the web someones credit card number is stolen and sold your account can be completely wiped out in less than 30 seconds. that's pretty scary statistics

Oh yeah i believe that, thats why people should use Virtual Credit Cards and not there own.

About the siteadvisor thingy, that would be pretty basic to alot of people on here but its scrary the amount of people that fall for these traps daily.

Google checkout is just the beginning of many future scams, sooooooooooo many loopholes, its like paypal when they first started!

Well worse than that an entire Bank can be accessed to get peoples account numbers names/addresses they showed every single major Bank in the US and Canada, so having a virtual CC is useless as they can still obtain the info they need.

Whats the chances of one hacking a bank than a regular site you would go shopping on? im saying use a vcc on those regular sites, its not just the hackers you gotta be worried about, its company's employers too.
