The Following quote is from the NEW YORK TIMES (11/13/95):"The truth is that sending a credit card number to an electronic merchant over the internet is probably the safest way to make such a transaction.""There is more risk in giving credit card data by phone to a hotel."
The form we use is more secure than if you had used your credit card in a restaurant or given it to the reservations desk at the airport or over the phone to a hotel. Think of how many hands your credit card goes through in a restaurant-- The waiter, the cashier, the manager, the accountant and whoever sweeps up at night. And yet, we trust.
Internet security has been a fairly bogus issue and the fear is mostly generated by those conglomerates and their media outlets who want to create a new form of money used on the web ( of course they'll get a piece of every transaction made on the web. Talk about creating wealth!)
There are no third parties monitoring this site.
The truth of the matter is there are 60 trillion bytes of information blasting through the information pipeline every second. In this way you have true security. Security through Obscurity. Rare is the hacker who can pull the right sequence of digits out of that firey cauldron of electronic soup. ( If he's that good he probably already has an algorithmic program that creates credit cards.)
In all of the transactions we've done, we've never had a problem. (There is a blessing in being obscure.)In the unlikely event that a problem did occur, the credit card company picks up the charges, not you. Simply put, its safe. However,If you still feel that you would prefer to submit your credit information over the phone, please call us at 310-459-5278. We'll be happy to assist you that way.
