If the site gave a number....AND if you checked that sellers feedback and it was all good, then it should be ok.   The rule is, if you call a firm and do business...you're usually safe to give your number to complete a transaction...if they call you and want a card number, no way!

I think it depends on where you live (the state).  You have to go through some state process.

Call the credit card company and make sure that your payment was received.

When did you enter this Lottery?\nBy responding you have let them know they have an Active E-Mail Account, you may win many Lotteries now.\nWhat you want to do now; You may want to watch for money to disappear from your Bank Account. Keep an eye on your Credit, if you gave them enough information, they can now get a Credit Card in your name. That about all I know you can do now. Good Luck.\nIn the Future never respond to Lotteries you never entered.

YES! They have a Visa logo on them so therefore you can use it anywhere, including online, where Visa is accepted.\n\nBut, say you have only $10 left and your purchase is $20, you need to submit the $10 for the card and not the entire $20 because it'll decline otherwise (this is just for stores, I'm not sure about online transactions).\n\nAlso, Simon gift cards deduct money off after a certain amount of time, so use it quick!\n\nThere's probably a web site you can go to if you need more information.

Most all of the card co.'s. They all have web sites. Some have them by the box and some even have single units. All the ones I've seen have photos and stick what you want in the shopping cart and follow the prompts. They (real co.'s) have secure sites and you can pay with plastic or even find a local dealer in your area and buy locally.

Contests must follow rules laid out by the government (protest the consumer). There are different rules state by state and include things like - alternative entry methods (mail in a ballot), and rules so it isn't gambling (often why they have a skill testing question), sometimes it means getting a liceence and with the differnt rules that is why you sometimes see that it is only for residents of a particular location etc.. \n\nThere are companies that specialize in planning and running contests like "Big Ballot" in California

First rule of the Internet is sadly don't believe anything somebody sends you. The second rule is always refer back to the first.\n note they will most likely ask you to pay a small fee to get your winnings and there is the rub. Best check Microsoft for more info on this issue . Or even Yahoo has some good info on this

Most web sites don't require the use of a credit card to participate....unless it's an x-rated adult site.  We don't want to go there.....\n\nZip codes are part of the mailing address in the United States.  It identifies the exact post office building nearest where you live, so the post office can quickly route the mail.

If they are asking for money for full details then it is a con. Otherwise it is just another hairbrained theory.\n\nThe odds for every draw remain approx 14 miilion to 1 for each line you purchase.\n\nit is very easy to baffle people with numbers, particularly when dealing with probabilities because what frequently seems common sense is actually wrong. \n\nFor example how many people do you need at a gathering to have a 50/50 chance that two of them will share the same birthday. Common sense would state to many that you would need about 183. However you only actually need 23.\n\nIf someone is quoting odds at you and asking for money then leave quickly.

the government has certain rights to stop stuff online, however i think that pushing to stop online pay poker sites is going overboard. i personally think it does no harm. but another side to that is u can gamble online in any state..even states where gambling is illegal, so the government might try to pull some law that says that if u live in a state where gambling is illegal u cant do it online. who knows?

Yes it should go back on your card but, i would still check your credit card company.

more than likely it is a matter of time, i would keep enough money on the card for what ever the amount was\n\n they will want their money eventually, \n\nthe reason they wait is because the credit card companies charge them eigther a % of the sales, or they charge per transaction, and they are better off turning them in all at once, than one at a time

no its a scam give it to the authorities so that they can try to catch these people.\n\nJust think about one thing, if you win something you usually don't have to pay to get it.

Check your area I use a bank that offers free on line bill pay with my checking account.I only have the house payment go automatically but do the rest Gas, Lights, phone, Insurance ect. I do manually only takes a few seconds and works well.You can even (and is what i do mostly) When I get a bill the day I receive it I go on line to pay it and tell it to pay 3 to 5 days before the due date write the conformation # down and file it.The money doesn't come out of your account until the day you tell it to pay on.

I am willing to pay with a credit card depending on how reputable the site is. I have done a lot of shopping online, and I have yet to find a site that offers payment upon delivery.
