Is it possible for other people to make transactions using the credit card of others? Sorry for my ignorance. I just really don't know how is this possible?

swapnil90 · 03-04-2007

the credit card numbers can be used online to buy anything you want....literally -- ANYTHING !!

Yes, now I know. I searched on the net about these. I have learned this is also called as Invisible Identity Theft. People really need to take a lot of care to their credit cards.

I never give my card for payment to waiters. I present it myself over the counter.

I also do not give my credit cards to waiters, I just go to the counter and ask them to punch it infront of me so that they do not copy the CVV2 number which is necessary to use on internet.

i have heard this happening overseas and especially in asia with people taking your credit card "back for confirmation" or something and taking it down when they are at the back of the store.
