Todays gripe.

Just got a letter from mastercard saying they will phone me up with a 6 digit number that I have to use when ordering stuff online. At the end of the letter it says 'mastercard ID Check verified by Visa'. I already have one for Visa which sometimes pops up at the end of a transaction so WTF? How many passwords or numbers can I keep in my head? About 4 probably so I will have to write it down. Very secure then.

Yeah, I get that verification by bank thing at the end of online payments as well. Haven't been contacted by Mastercard about 6 digit password thingy yet though.

sounds very iffy to me. I would check with bank

Same here. Remember signing up to something about 10 years back. Now, I just hit the button. doesn't ask me for a password

Same for me be careful they don’t do that as far as I know never heard of it x

Looks kosher to me. They have the beginning and end of my card number correct and the end of my phone number correct. No phone call yet but I will be careful.
