I have a feeling THIS might have something to do with it.
From the GIJCC's Terms & Conditions page:
This seemed blatantly wrong and stupid, and was the reason why I have hesitated to join. Anyone with half a brain knows you're not supposed to fax or email your credit card info, as those transmission methods have always been considered NOT secure.
I was tempted to phone my credit card company to ask them about this, but I never got around to it. I would think your CC company wouldn't side with you if you were scammed after being this careless with your card information.
