YesAsia asking for card details??

[jonas000]

Just put an order in for Motorstorm and Resistance of Man. Put my card details as usual and the order was fine. However, got an email this morning asking for a copy of my credit card to verify my address.

i'm a bit wary about doing this and wandered if anyone else doing whether it was ok to proceed??

Its common practice with them mate. Its to stop people stealing your card andf buying stuff from them. Same happened to me and i had to fax a photocopy to them. They are only looking to check you details.

Go ahead its fine.

Thats good. Thanks for that.

They want your credit card statement showing your name and address. not your credit card i think. There is no address on credit cards

But I don't get a monthly statement from Cahoot, its all on the internet!?

I think they just want a scan of your card

Be careful,
they are asking for either a scan of your monthly statement or a scan of the front and rear of your card,
whereas a scan of your statement with name and address is fair enough (a lot of places have done this on first orders), asking for a scan of the front and rear of your card (with just the sig blocked) is a very irresponsible thing thing to ask for. Very surprising that a respected store should be asking for this.
Best bet is just to pay via Paypal in the future with them

think I will cancel the order and so via paypal instead.

That would be the best way. An email of your details may go awol!

I ignored their demand for the card statement, was happy enough to let the order go as i'd sourced one on eBay anyway. Then a day later, it got approved anyway

I had a US site ask for a scan of my card front/back a few years ago. I didn't like the sound of that at all and contacted the card company who basically told me not to do that under any circumstances. I cancelled the order and got the stuff somewhere else.

Had to do that with Lik-Sang couple of years ago to import PSP's. Never had any problem then or since.

I use PayPal with YesAsia and have bought PSP console from them & loads of games. Well established trustworthy site. Use PayPal if you have one.
