Virtual credit card
Have you tried using one? It's one way to address identity theft. It functions like a pre paid card whose number is randomly generated. You can set your credit limit. The only drawback I heard is that this is only good for online transactions.
Citibank has something similar where they generate a virtual account number every time you purchase something online. It is helpful to prevent your credit card number from getting hijacked and is really easy to use.
I have two Virtual Money credit cards, I got them through surf sites. I paid
$19.95 for them. When the sites went down I lost the money on the cards. I had to pay $4.95 monthly fees. I'll never buy virtual Money cards again.

i will check out epassporte . i was suggested using a virtual credit card for money transaction by my friend but i had some doubts regarding it. i just have a feeling that its not a safe option.
A big VCC company spams one of my main inboxes qute a bit. TruCards. You get paid for referrals and stuff with them so that's probably why I get bombarded with the emails.
This is the first I've heard about virtual credit cards. Interesting.
Really? They're getting really popular now. I don't trust them too much though. The internet is full of fraud and insecurity.
Virtual credit cards are excellent, I wouldn't use them through a separate company though. Instead I get mine through my bank. I simply type in the limit on it and presto I get a number to use! Very good.
