On: Credit card delinquencies surged in 2023

I know several people that are not too affine with tech and got scammed when they tried to sell some stuff on the net. Mostly small things like books or furniture. Scammers showed interests and asked for credit card numbers.

One failure is on the user, the other one is that credit cards suck. Even with the slapped on security mechanisms, it should have been deprecated technology a long, long time ago.

Sadly any new standard must be established internationally, so there is a lot of momentum for credit cards...

Tried to sell something or buy something? Trying to figure out why anyone selling something would give a potential buyer their credit card number??

Sell something. Some people mix up bank account and credit card number, especially in countries where paying with credit card is more rare.
