Is sending my personal information over the Internet safe?

Yes. Even though there have been widespread reports of Internet fraud in the past few years, the reports attribute most of the fraud to card information stolen the old fashioned way: by telemarketers, from mailboxes, and at places of purchase, such as restaurants and stores. In most cases, credit card information used on websites is seen by fewer eyes than the same information used at your local restaurant, thus fraud occurs less between a legitimate consumer and a merchant.
