RE: UKNM: Internet Delivery

[Robin Edwards]

Isn't this a bit dodgy? If you had a stolen card, you could order the goods

over the phone, and then go pick them up, all without having to match a

signature. Ok, for cinema tickets you would have to buy a lot of tickets

quickly before the card was reported stolen, but for larger purchases it

would be feasible.


Of course if you don't take the payment online, then the merchant will run

the risk of people ordering things and not picking them up. However, if you

do a "customer not present" transaction I was under the impression that

some merchant agreements forbid the merchant from handing the goods over in

person.


Hmmm

P.S. Regarding boo.com, Ben, I'm pretty sure you can imagine what has been

said, and what the cause of the problems were.
