The "risk" is seldom the site, its who is taking down that info. Who are they using to process and who gets to see that info. If someone sells the numbers and suddenly your account is hit your bank will give the money back but, make sure its not going to be a problem is you have that account cleaned out for a few days.
For this reason, i have started to use actual CCs again. Never liked to write a cheque for my purchases at the end of every month but after fighting a scam charge of $57.99 USD, my bank pissed me off by doing stupid investivative work, which I did to prove the scam.
I've had a Debit card for 4 years and not one problem. I've bought guns with it too, still no problems. In fact, when I once bought a gun, Wells Fargo (and yes, I know they are a terrible bank) halted the purchase but reached out to me to confirm that it was me. Once I got it squared away, it was good to go.
Where do ya swipe?
Left nipple doubles as a chip reader. Super secure.
Well now there's a bubbleguming paradox if I've ever seen one.
It's a singledox I think
Unidox, in some circles.
But it's not what I one tit.
Wife buys a lot of the returned / refurbished stuff. Almost every time what claims "refurbished" looks like it was simply a case of someone bought it or was gifted it and did not want it. Often looks like it was never taken out of packaging. Now and then she has gotten something she was quite disappointed in. Even that stuff Amazon takes back at no cost without kicking. I certainly hate how they use the money I give them but, when I tried no shopping with them I soon found the only person I was punishing was me.
The debit cards that have the Visa or MC logo protect you only because the banks were forced into it. When those first started to become a thing they did not and law makers were going to step in. The rub is giving out that info someone can take a good chunk of the cash in that account. Yes the bank will put it back but, make sure you have the means to not have a problem if it takes them a few days. A LOT of people would be in real trouble real fast. The people who claim they love using a debit card and never have a problem remind me of the people who drive 20 over posted and never get a ticket. Yes many do. Many of them go decades and never have to pay. That does not mean one day they will not. Now if someone has screwed their credit to the point they just can't get a credit card? Or if they are not able to control themselves when they had one? That is a different story of course.
Not even close.
