Maybe once thumbprint scanner or such will be available to the common web user I will reconsider. Even tho SSL, IPSEC, Encryption and so on are there to protect us there still many scam artist to try to fool you around. Anyway most of the time you can use other form of payment like phone line or money order.
And btw the 250 k fee for breaking the law would return to the scammed person ?
