I’m not saying this particular outfit is not legitimate. What I am suggesting is there are indicators/potential red flags. We all have our own risk tolerance. Mine is lower than many others.
If one thinks the only potential issue is the loss of money and then letting VISA handle it/get it back, that only addresses the immediate financial fraud.
Recovering from identity theft (which can include the ongoing accumulation of personally identifying information before any theft actually takes place/is discovered) is a heck of a lot more complex than letting VISA handle a one-off bad financial transaction.
