For all of you who make booking to hotel. I see that most hotels give you a form to fill your credit card information for authorization payment. I warn you, not to do that !. Verybwrong and serious bad way !. This is not the way how to pay with credit card. It is very sensitive data providing your cvc and credit card number.
I dont't know if they are stupid or pretend to be stupid to make the process like this. And you even required to send the form via email to their email address. Do you know how dangerous it could be ? The email can be leaked and all staf who works in the hotel cam get your data amd can do online shopping with that !
Never never do that ! Your credit card company will not responsible in case something bad happen to you if your provide the credit card information that way.
Hotel must send you a secure ssh link to process the payment, and there you can type the data. Just like online shopping !.
