Hi i have purchased some parts from USA paid for with wisa and next day i reacive email to fill in CREDIT CARD FORM and email it back to then or fax it..before they can process my order and ship parts...Has anyone gone through this procces lately??? Cheers Dean

Sounds sus. Who was it through? All transactions such as that are electronic nowadays.

I have ordered parts from Cip1.com and not sure whats going on there ..they are requesting my drivers licence, visa card front and back and shipping adress on this form...giving such details its Dangerous....cheers I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM EVERYONE ON THIS MATTER

Hi on form its CALIFORNIA Import Parts Ltd. asking Credit card verification form to be filled out and faxed to 1-877-811-5111 or 1-604-881-7876 or Email hope everybody knows what i aqm talking about here cheers

i know that when the old man ordered from them they pulled this one and he refused, stating he wasnt giving anyone those details because of identity fraud. cant remember what ended up happening though

yes..but they told me they cant process order untill they reacive email or completed form from me..i think i might visit bank and find out whats best thing to do...i must say 3 weeks i purchased some parts and everything went smooth with transaction, this time something fishie cheers

I ordered parts from them and filled this form out. I've had no problems. They do this to prevent overseas credit card fraud. You do this one and then you won't have to do it again. Or you can pay with Paypal and avoid any of this.

Yes I've has to do this for major U.S retailers in the past. Instead of fax I emailed them a scan, some have even wanted a photo/scan of the card itself to prove I actually have possession of it. Seems a bit over the top, but some places are extra cautious after being scammed.

Hi thanks for your replys here and after reading it makes sense too..looks its safe to fill CREDIT CARD VERIFICATION FORM and faxed or email it...

They did the same to me so I told them to cancel the order. They backed down and sent the parts.
What they are asking you to do is exactly what the banks tell you not to do. Therefore if something goes wrong the bank will abandon you and any claim you may have because you have provided those details willingly. Send them a cheque!

Fax is the safest form of credit card form, assuming the receiver is known.

You should never ever put your credit card details into an online form unless it is to a site that has https:// at the start of the address. the 's' signifies it is a secure connection

Or just pay cash

Hi, i had to email my details for identity verification as you ahve described when i ordered from cip1.

THye said you can blank out a few of the credit card numbers in the scan if you like...

Well i have learned so much about cards, paypal and etc...we are paying for our so called services and its not possible to get all services. I have only recently started using pay pal and its EXCELLENT..I have purchased staff 4 weeks aprox..no problems 2 days ago i placed order and get to fill credit card information...
I have send them email if order doesnt go through refund money into my visa account..I have checked my visa account and money is taken by them.. so i will keep up date here...

Hi I managed to get everything sort it out with few emails, they were very helpfull and explain reasons why they have such procedure, my parts will be arriving soon now and also like to thank everyone here for their time giving me info....must say paypal is first option and plastic cards second thanks guys cheers Dean

I had to provide all the details recently to CB Performance. I consider myself to be reasonably savvy on these things so I complied.

But about 2 weeks ago my credit card got 'probed' by 2 unauthorised people, as they withdrew 1 cent each. The credit card company called me straight away and we shut it down before they went for the big sting.
Under no circumstances am I linking that to CB Performance as I have been fairly busy buying in the US, Germany, and around Australia. But its disturbing to hear a bunch of VW people all being hit at the same time...

Has an Australian VW parts supplier been hacked ???

Credit card fraud is massive in the states. CIP1 as well as other suppliers do this with alot of customers who place orders worth a bit. When we were over there, everytime we paid with our credit card we also had to present our drivers licence as proof of identity.
