Security?

clookid · 03-23-2007

Hey everyone,

I am planning on buying a virtual credit card in order to register for a Google Checkout account but first I would like to know what the security is like.

Please give me as much response as possible!

Kind regards,
-Clookid

This is the first time I have heard about virtual credit card. Do they really exist? What company offers virtual credit card? I have heard only about virtual e-money, which is offered by some auction sites. E-money is reliable.

I am sure the security factor is fine with google! You should have nothing to worry about as google has for the most part stayed pretty safe so far, with the exception of base.google.com which is a spam nightmare!!!!!

There are 2 virtual credit cards I am aware of. One is you have to acquire that from a third party provider. In doing so, you don't need any existing credit card. Just pay for the card. The other virtual credit card can be sourced out from your own credit card provider. You must be a legitimate credit card holder to avail of this kind of virtual credit card.

Hi Clookid,

With a virtual credit card, all you get is a credit card number, not a plastic credit card, so it's for online or telephone use only.

I've used one for years and never had a problem and keep my virtual credit card number in my cell phone.

If you suspect fraud, they are easy to cancel and you get a new number very quickly.

Virtual Credit Card which works just like a real Credit Card for shopping via web or telephone. It gives an opportunity for every body to enjoy the pleasure of the life and bring a big change in the life style.

I do not think that you should worry with security as far as Google is concerned.
Their site should be pretty secure.
