    Yeah, this is one of these things that’s simply solved by people not giving their credit card data to random strangers who offer them something “for free” in exchange for it.

    I mean, if one has managed to survive one’s childhood without getting into the cars of strangers in exchange for candy, it shouldn’t be that hard to, in one’s supposed adult years, not give access to one’s bank account via a credit card to strangers offering you free shit.

    Just because the “stranger” is behind a company mask doesn’t make them any more trustworthy. One could even say it makes them less trustworthy, since the actual people doing the fishy stuff behind a company mask are far less likely to suffer any personal consequences from it than if they did it directly as individuals.
