Someone has asked me for Credit Card Number and Code- for DR

I Emailed someone if I can buy HDD Recovery training Material, and he sent me an attachment form to write my Credit Card Number and the Code. Is this normal ?

Is not there some other form of Automatic payment like the Payment done while purchasing from Amazon ? I am a little confused.

When I bought from Deepspar I had to give them my credit card details for payment & with Acelabs I did a bank transfer.
Who are you buying from?

Thank Loki,

Thanks Loki,

It is Scott Moulton, scott@myharddrivedied.com. I have read that he is a well know Data Recovery Expert. I was expecting a well organized company with standard payment methodes like you do your Online Purchases, for example, when you purchase from Amazon using VISA or Paypal Payment Applets.

Is not sending my Credit card Number and Code put me in unnecessary risk ?

Inquire about other payment forms, such as Paypal or western union for example.

Writing Credit Card numbers and security codes down on paper is never a good idea, there's also the question of liability if it all goes wrong.....I'd ask for an alternative way to pay....
