Good afternoon!
Received an email from DX after paying for an order with a credit card. The text is:
DX Support ✆ [email protected] To: Me
A staff has responded to your request. And your action is required.
Dear Customer,
Have a nice day!
Thank you for ordering from DealExtreme.com. To ensure the payment was made as per your request, further confirmation is needed for this payment. Would you please choose two of these methods as listed below to help confirm your payment process and information?
1. A photo/copy/screenshot of your credit card bill (Any previous purchase invoice will suffice). It would be better if we can clearly see both the first 6 digits and last 4 digits of your card number and the cardholder name on the bill.
2. A photo/copy/screenshot of both sides of your credit card. For the safety of your account and card number, (please cover or black-out the CVV2/CVC2/CSC2 code) just show us the first 6 digits and last 4 digits of your card number.
3. A photo/copy/screenshot of the cardholder's ID card/ Passport/Driver license.
You can selectively choose to attach one of the above to the Authorization Form provided. Thank you for your co-operation in providing DX with the necessary information needed to process your order effectively.
Yours Sincerely,
DX Team
What is it? The Sberbank recommended not to send anything, especially photocopies of documents. When placing an order, there was a redirect from DX to the Sberbank website and back. The money was debited, I received an SMS from the Sberbank with a report that the money was debited in favor of DX. What is the purpose of DX photocopies of documents and credit cards?

This means that your last financial activity and behavior on the site was very different from the previous one and fell under the robot's fraud algorithm. So he asked you to confirm your identity - send it and don't worry.
And in the future, it’s better to pay not with a credit card, but through Paypal .
A request for a scan of a passport and a document confirming payment for housing is a standard world practice and occurs in almost all foreign online stores in the case of payment with a plastic card - the goal is to confirm the identity and shipping address. Nothing wrong with that.
In the card, cover up the numbers in the middle and the additional number. You can send a passport abroad or a regular one. The receipt for the apartment is just a scan.
In general, I never understood excessive paranoia about document scans, especially when it comes to giant trusted stores. Well, what do the Chinese do with a scan of your passport? Fetish them at home as much as possible - so you will not know about it.
And in Russia, if necessary, all passport data is in the databases from Savely or Mitka. Yes, and on the Internet you can download, if you know where. And to make according to the scan data - half an hour in Photoshop.
Of course, it’s better not to shine the card with all the numbers - it’s better to cover up the middle. By the way, remember - the store already knows all your numbers - you yourself gave them to pay. They only need to verify that you personally took them not for $ 2 for web money from carders, but from your physical card.

Make sure that you really are the owner of this card in order to insure yourself against penalties from the system (Visa or MasterCard or what do you have?) ...

Hmm, interesting, but what about virtual cards?

This is standard shop practice. Inspections are usually selective. In the passport, you need to cover up all the numbers and information except for the full name and photograph.
In a credit card, cover up the number except for the last 4 digits.
No problem.

Sape also initially did not ask for anything, and then send a copy of the passport, paper documents with a signature to the mail. If in doubt, you can always contact the company's support and verify the authenticity of the letter.

To be more careful and read, they ask for the 5 or 4 first and 4 last digits of the card, without any codes. This is not scary at all, after you have entered all the credit card details to them before.

And what is the point of paying by card if there is a paypal? Does your bank support PayPal? I just don’t know the disadvantages of Paypal compared to the usual payment by card, only the pros.
