My response to people that complain about using credit cards over the internet has always been, "You don't seem to have any problems handing your card over to your waiter, store clerk or person at the telephone order desk!"

I've worked in restaurants as a bookkeeper ... you would be AMAZED at the number of servers who stupidly think they can double swipe a credit card and get away with it! Most people still look at their statements - and they *do* call to complain! Getting fired / going to jail just doesn't seem to be worth the little $$$ they temporarily gain.

Bottom line ... you aren't safe anywhere! But if you have a little common sense you'll minimize your problems.
