rFactor credit card purchase?
I was about to purchase rFactor with my credit card when I noticed it
has a box to enter your CC security code. I've heard that you should never give this code to anyone and no other online purchase I've made has ever asked for it so why is rFactor asking for a code they shouldn't need/or have? |

Hmmm, just about every online purchase I've made in the last 6 months or so has asked me for that code.... |

The code is physically printed on your card. If someone steals your credit card number they still don't have the extra code. So you are protecting yourself by using that code. It verifies to the sellar that you are in possesion of the actual card, not just the account number. Another way to protect yourself is to get a limited use credit card. One that has a VERY small available balance. One that is not tied to your regular bank etc. Use that only for online purchases. If someone violates your privacy and gets the card number, the most you could be financially hurt is greatly lessened. And of course, the Credit card companies do offer some protection after the fact as well. dave henrie |

Yes, you should definitely be asked for it.

Every purchase I've made asks for this.

Only my CC company asks for that code when I contact them. I bought rFactor anyway but then I asked for a refund 24hrs. later. The AI is pathetic. |

It's just a check for phone and internet traders if you actually have the card. l8er ronny |
