Wow, that site sounds like a straight up scam. I would watch my credit card for unauthorized transactions after that.

Anytime a site lists all their credentials with the “100%” & “guaranteed” I immediately trust the less.

Like what are you hiding? Who are you trying to fool?

A lot of sites add things like that because on average it actually does increase orders and has no real downsides. Not at much with the newer generations but if your target market is boomers then it can help.

Luckily I didn’t get to that point. Still pretty shitty.

It doesn't have a physical address. Very suspicious.

Get Koho. E-transfer money into Koho, and use Koho to make purchases on weird websites.

It gives you a real credit card, but you basically treat it like a pre-paid card.

I love it. Takes less than 5 seconds for the money to get e-transfered into the account, and sketchy websites cannot make unauthorized charges if your account has no money lol

privacy.com and the app are also great. it generates new cards that are one time use or locked to a specific merchant.

I just wish I could use my credit card as the card behind them. That's my only gripe lol

Revolut allows you to create disposable cards on the go. And to restrict cards from ATM use or online use.

That's not available in Canada, it seems?

I've ordered real pet medications from there because american vet wait was two months in my area. It took a few weeks for the cat meds to arrive, but they definitely delivered. Cheaper than a vet in my area too.
