Credit Card Question
    #7783942 - 12/20/07 11:14 PM (16 years, 1 month ago)

I just ordered food..

I paid with a debit card, and then the guy asked for the verification number, then proceeded to ask for the billing address on the card. Well, I gave it to him, and ordered my food.


Then I was thinking, that was weird. I've never provided that info before over the phone...


Did someone just jack my card info for ordering online? Or do some places ask for this over the phone?

1.) Maybe
2) Yes, not common via the phone, ime


that number is a way to verify you have access to the card. So it basically can cut down on fraud from stolen numbers, while giving the merchant the very information their employee's need to use the card's information at any transaction where the card isn't present (internet, phone)

It would have been safer to order over the internet. No one would ever see your info, unless you have a keylogger on your computer.
I have an online shopping cart. All I can see is that they paid me for what they want.

I buy a lot of things with my credit card over the phone and it's asked for 1 in 5 times. I've never had a problem.
