Don’t Supply Credit Card Information by E-Mail

As you are shopping around for the best deal on pins and patches, have you encountered companies that send an e-mail asking that you supply your credit card information in the e-mail and send it back to them? Did you know there are dangers in supplying your information in this unsecured manner? There is the possibility of the e-mail being intercepted by hackers. Have you heard of keyloggers? They can record keystrokes from unsecured  sites. These attackers pay attention only to numbers. Also, how do you ensure that the e-mail actually went to the person you meant to have the information?

You can avoid all of these dangers by dealing with internet companies that use secured networks to collect your credit card information.

All of our sites use Paypal, a very secure network that collects credit card information. Our company never has access to your information, it is not stored in any of our databases, so the possibility of hackers getting your credit card information is greatly reduced. Be sure to only deal with companies that have taken extra steps to protect your information.
