Do you post your credit card numbers on the internet? You give it out freely hundreds of times a year.
Why so secretive?
Maybe because the internet is a den of thieves and these no sense in helping them?
Unless you are actually telling the numbers to someone to enter manually, nobody can get your credit card info. I take lots of credit cards for payment, if someone comes in and I swipe a card, I have extremely limited access to what I can find out, not even a full number. Now if they call it in, that is the single instance I have full access to every bit of their info. Even employees at the credit card companies have no access to your card info. They have the number, but that number is no good without the security code and expiration date, and they have no access to that. I recently had a business card that the security code wore off and I was trying to order something online and couldnt read the code so I made a phone call. I went up the ladder 5 people at the company and never got the code, they have no access to it whatsoever, I had to wait for the new card to get here, which thankfully because its a business card, they overnighted to me. If you order something online and manually enter credit card info, nobody else can get that info, its all encrypted. I have online payment as well, and when someone pays I can see very little of their info, not nearly what would be required to steal anything.
