E-commerce these days is pretty secure but one can never be too careful when it comes to credit. Virtual credit card numbers was an idea that came into being many years ago when online e-commerce was less trusted and there were fewer security mechanisms in place to thwart fraudsters. Despite the increased security, you simply can’t go wrong with using a one-time credit card number.
How do you do this? Simply go to your online account with your credit card company and look for an application to download. This application will generate these one time numbers for you. Some applications are more feature rich than others, with value limits and expiration dates, but all of them will be good for one use and then be invalidated.
If you aren’t familiar with it, go check it out. It doesn’t hurt to generate one of those numbers.
