Yeah, not just it makes your wallet lighter but pretty safe as well but then if the thief made some transactions with it then does the victim have to pay for it as well?
Yeah, we're the one who'll pay if the thief uses our credit card because it is linked to our bank. But, had you has your credit card lost, report immediately so that the bank will blacklist your credit card so that the thief can use your cc no more..

Yap. But if you really late to do that, you still losing your money right? So, be careful about that. Especially for paypal user who use credit card to verify. Thats why i still prefer with vcc..

with vcc, you don't really have a bank right? So, if people somehow knew your vcc pin number, I think they can still steal some money from your paypal right? thats more dangerous i think... but at least vcc needs pin number, instead of cc which requires a card only...

VCC has a pin just like a normal CC, and having no physical presence, it can't be manipulated at all right?
If you do get the pin no, you still need teh paypal address and password to get money out of PP account.

VCC means that you paid $ for a bunch of cc numbers and a pin. Cc has the number, the pin and the card.

And if you buy those non-reloaded and/or vcc meant for verification, do take note that they expire very fast, either within a few day or when you have spend all fund in that card. They are not different from disposable top up card

A VCC is offered to anyone by the seller without even bothering to check your identity. You pay, you get it. You can in fact put any name, address and anything else to it. It basically defeats what verification is all about.

A VCC does not come with a paper statement and it is usually not renewable. When the VCC expires, what would you do ?

I heard for paypal they don't allow verification done using VCC even though it works but if they found out they would take action about it.

I would recommend to be simple on the outside, while dealing with huge amounts. For example, you can dress very simple, as a middle-class man, while you are going to handle huge amounts of money. This might not let people know that you are a wealthy person. Many people who go out with Falshy clothes and equipments are prone to risks!.

I don't think Paypal has the required software for identiying VCC from a normal credit card. Afterall, the virtual number generated by the card is very similar to its physical counter-part.
