Anyone using Google Checkout?
I just saw an article that mentioned how Google Checkout was giving away $10 for each new transaction during the holidays to "test" the service? Anyone tried it? Is it good? Is it any different than Paypal? Seems as though that is who they are going after with this service. I think they are sort of late to jump on board.

Again, thanks for bringing your story to us on this forum. Even though we all may be knowledgable of these scams, it doesn`t hurt to reinforce the message to remind us to stay on-guard! I know these reminders help me!
Another tip, make sure that when you are putting in your CC info into any form that you are on a secure connection. You can tell this by looking at the HTTP area of the web address. If it says "HTTPS", then it is secure. If it does not and you are asked to enter your CC info to purchase something, just be careful. I personally refuse to enter CC info unless it is a secure HTTPS connection.
Another cool thing I have come across is with Citibank, you can generate a "virtual account number" from your regular credit card account login. It`s a one-time only number that can be used for internet purchases. I use that quite a bit, which makes my purchases even safer! I don`t have any other credit cards with other companies, so I am not sure if other companies offer this service to their customers, but I like it a lot! It also doesn`t keep a "real" account number on file with the various companies you buy from, who keep your CC info after you make a purchase.
