Question by Diana: Please read details thoroughly: How do I send copies of my ID and credit card to an online store for an order?
I keep trying to make an order online for some clothes and they keep canceling my order because I don’t know how to send copies of my ID and credit card for identity verification. I do not have a printer or a scanner or anything like that and I do not know computers very well at all. Computers are very complex and confusing to me and I just cant figure out how to send copies of my ID and credit card through email. Are there any other ways I can send copies of my credit card and ID besides a copier, fax machine (i don’t have a fax machine either), printer, and scanner. What other way can I send the copies by???? Please help. I am very frustrated on how to send these copies. I have no way to send them and the place said not to send them through regular postal mail it is too much personal information to send like that. Thanks. By the way can I take pictures of my ID and credit card with a web cam but I don’t know how I can send the pictures through the email??? Please let me know how to send the pictures of my ID and credit card through the email. I don’t have any clue how.

I have never heard of an online merchant requiring copies of ID and the credit card. They should be able to process the credit card payment by the card number. Additional security would ask for the CVV number on the back of the card. Also, the billing address.
I suggest you find some place else to purchase those clothes. It sounds like that site may be phishing for personal info and you could be exposing yourself to fraud and ID theft.
