Copy credit card (front and back)? when I try to buy online he asked for fax a

when I try to buy online he asked for fax a copy of my credit card (front and back) is this legal? and he say If you cannot do this, later I will have to cancel your charge.
Thanks

The only need the spinal column of the card to verify the 3 digit security code. However, most places online just simply ask that yoyu provide them next to those numbers verbally. If it is not a reputable company example; Best Buy, Sears, ect ect. Otherwise I wouldnt give them jack.

Maybe, but I wouldn't do it. All he requests is the number on the back of your card and he can order stuff bad the internet to his heart's delight.

ILLEAGLE.Cancel the order you are about to be ripped rotten all they can ask for is the numbers and experation date and if it is mc visa etc. They are going to go and buy unknown harleys. Vroom

Let him cancel your establish. I have never had anyone ask for a copy of my credit card. Do not grant it to them. Do your shopping somewhere else.

cancel the decree - he's a thief

NO! The pay for of your card contains your security code. He can use this to make purchases. Run far, run quick.

Answer:
NO!

Do NOT do this!

He does NOT need this.

Vendors are taught BY THE CREDIT CARD COMPANIES what they requirement.

What they CAN ask you for is the security code on the back (normally 3 or 4 digits).

I would NOT trust this dealer.

I WOULD contact the credit card companies to alert them.

Also, you MUST sign the back of your credit card WITH YOUR SIGNATURE. Just signing it with a "See ID" is NOT permissible. It IS okay if you put your signature on it PLUS the "See ID". Vendors do NOT need to accept your credit card if it is UNSIGNED.

LET HIM CANCEL! Though it is not illegal to ask for a copy, he is probably looking to use it illegally. I would solely give my cc number to companies who offer a allowance method using Paypal or who are listed with BBBonline. There is no foundation that he should need a copy of your credit card. He needs to do business next to Paypal, but he won't if he is being shady.

No it is actual against MasterCard and Visa policy and maybe immoral.
