NOS Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I found a supplier for a part for my TT that is based in Scotland. They do not accept paypal and want payment over the phone via credit card. Is this normal practice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOS Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 Wouldn't you worry about strangers having your card details? I.e. Someone at the end of the phone could go crazy with your details online. Am I being too paranoid?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martini Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Wouldn't you worry about strangers having your card details? I.e. Someone at the end of the phone could go crazy with your details online.

Am I being too paranoid?! IMO, yes a bit too paranoid. There's always a chance that someone will abuse your card number, but that threat is always there, e.g. when you give your card to a waiter in a restaurant to pay for a meal.

TTRickeh Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Am I being too paranoid?! Yes. It's Scotland mate, not some guy in a hut in Uganda wanting your moneys.

NOS Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 Hahaha alright, alright. Just paranoid as my friend bought a £10 item over the phone two months ago and got £3,500 cleaned out of his account from a seemingly reputable eBay seller! Thanks guys.

NOS Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 Tuna, no crust. Few guys on the Forum have PM'd me stating the company in question is legitimate. Part's ordered. Whatever happens, happens.
