I filled in the blank and paid. It was said that my order is being process. After making the payment, i read that the website payment.hooppay.com is may be scram....and when i clicked on my account in puretime and clicked on the order, i was linked again to the payment.hooppay.com to make the payment even i´ve just paid......

Don't panic mate, why would they want your PIN or PW? They don't need them for the payment. It's not a scam, it's PT's CC processor.

Just remember the nature of your purchase, and as to why this is needed.

I dont mean Puretime Scam, i mean the payment website...Like i said, it´s the first time i paid with VISA....why they dont need anything to pay??? (For example Online Banking:the TAN Number for each transactions). The website can easily save all my Card info and use it....Can someone tell me if paying with Visa safe???

This^^^ What you are buying is illegal, the payment system in place is to hide what you are actually buying.

To put your mind at rest, several TD's use a very similar system

What do you mean why don't they need anything to pay? No one should EVER need ort ask for your PIN number for an internet transaction, would you really give out that or your password? :facepalm:

I have already said, paying with Visa is safe. You do realise that your bank will cover any fraudulent transactions, yes? If the processor was not safe your bank would have refused payment.

If it concerns you that much, in future get one of those preloaded visa cards from the local supermarket or post office and only load enough for the current transaction or ask your bank about single use card numbers: http://www.dailyfinance.com/2011/08...d-numbers-extra-safety-or-false-security-for/ or use PayPal's virtual Credit Card: http://geardiary.com/2009/01/24/use...edit-card-number-to-manage-recurring-charges/ if available in your country.

I only used Paypal, Bank transfer so i dont understand much about VISA, MASTER etc....you mean that this website: payment.hooppay.com is owned to puretime??? If so i dont worry anymore because i trust Puretime. I thought that like Paypal or Banktransfer, if i make the payment i must go to the original website like paypal or my bank website...so if i pay Puretime, i must pay from puretime website...now i understand that.

You have nothing to fear, email PT about your concerns, and they will assure you everything is fine. Remember in your email, state your order number etc to help speed things up.

I see you made a decision and then regret it...
Why not just pay with what you feel comfortable with, as you mentioned you are OK with Paypal and bank transfer.
I personally don't use credit card for purchasing contraband.

Puretime dont accept Paypal anymore, and Banktransfer is so expensive for me (my bank charged me 40Euro for a Transfer to China Bank)

Puretime is 100% trustworthy. Buy with confidence.

No they are not owned by Pure time, they are a credit card processor. When you pay by CC on line you deal with a processor in 95% of cases. They process your payment on behalf of the seller. This is true no matter what you are buying and is just how the CC system works.

CC processors may be owned by a bank or a group of banks or they may be independent. PayPal, Paymate, Alert Pay and the one used by PT are examples of this type. Now when dealing with contraband goods you don't have a lot of choice of processors as most will not do business with the sellers. The sellers re forced to use processors such as PT's, these guys are usually based in Eastern Europe which is why you have never heard of them. Any that are really bad get banned by the banks who will refuse to process payments thru them or at least check with you first.

Every now and again shit can and does happen but your CC company will cover any fraudulent payments so any fraud is a temporary inconvenience at worst. As I said earlier to be sure as your CC issuer about single use CC numbers which can only be used for one transaction and for the amount you specify.
