They ask a few simple questions.

16 digit card #
Expiry date
Name on Card
Postcode and House Number
3 Digit security code.

I give these no problem.

Where is the secuity if I was giving these details to a thief? This person could write down by info or that of 100's of other people they deal with every day and use the info to buy stuff on and offline.

Not sure why you don't see more fraud like this.
