Businesses not worried about Net safety Risk lower than mail order Even though there's much talk about security on the Internet, it's often safer than mail order. Look at mail order catalogs. That fraud's been going on for years. If you did a comparison, I don't think you'd find the percentages of fraudulent transactions too much different from mail order. After all, you're giving a credit card number to someone you have no clue about.
Internet websites have validation procedures to verify cardholders' identity.
Mail order doesn't.
