Domain registrar asking for photocopy of my credit card
I own several domains and one of them is coming up for renewal in mid May.
I thought I'd get in there early and found out I couldn't pay through Paypal, as the registrar had changed the way to pay.
I sent a ticket to sales and they sent an email back saying, 'we can only accept payment if you send us a photocopy of your credit card, front and back, and a copy of your driving licence with photo, and you passport.'
Well of course I told them to take a hike. I reported them to my credit card company who says it sounds fradulent and I should contact the police. Failing that report the registrar to ICANN.
Has anyone else been asked for such personal information.
