Blu-ray website asking for a fax of c.card (back & front) and latest statement - Blu-ray Forum

SymbioticFunction · 01-07-2010, 08:32 PM

Just read a post from someone who placed a blu-ray order with dvdworld.com.br

They asked him to fax them a copy of the front and back of his credit card, and a copy of his latest credit card statement.

Was that usual, or was that an attempt at fraud/theft??

sounds like fraud to me

No company should ever need that information, nor should anyone give them it.

That does not sound normal at all! I order off the internet all the time and if someone asked that from me I would be very hesitant to order from them, no matter the deal...

Is the company in Nigeria? Is there unclaimed money involved?

Wow, this forum works quick...

He was trying to order this product, from this website:

http://dvdworld.com.br/dvdworld.hts?+CL25338+acha

And before reading what had happened, I was considering doing the same.

I guess that this is one Brazilian online retailer to definetly avoid.
