Re: [libreoffice-users] I tried to credit card donate on website. But after I place order, it takes me to fishing website

I get that type of screen sometimes when I buy items from an online 
store.  I do not like to fill those info boxes.  So I do not use my 
debit card and use my PayPal account instead of the card, for those 
sites that those types of info screens pop up.

It is not that I am "afraid" of giving out more info, but I just do not 
like to deal with that extra step.  Yes, it was created to help protect 
your transactions, but sometimes I wonder if a SPAM "coder" could hack 
into one of the stores and create their own pop-up card info, then use 
your card for something else.  So only fill out this screen for MAJOR 
online stores that you feel secure enough to do so.

Since PayPal is a better way for online transactions, safer for me and 
will help get my money back from orders that are not delivered, I tend 
to use it for most sites.  Amazon.com does not use PayPal for some 
reason, but it is one of the few exceptions to my PayPal use rule.

LibreOffice uses PayPal as one of the payment options, so I use that 
when I donate money to "the cause".
