Having once been the victim of a very nasty credit card scam emanating
from the USA, I would be very wary indeed about scanning my card and
sending it to anyone via open email. I know, from many years of his
contributions to this forum, John H is a great guy: I admire him
tremendously and his own honesty is beyond question, but what's to
stop my card details from getting into the wrong hands?
Are there no crooks in the US and Canada anyway? My experience
suggests there are. Once bitten, many times shy.
