Re: Wireless ISPs

On the other side of things, I've recently encountered internet vendors 
who're reassuring customers that they use HTTPS for online ordering. But 
 when I've ordered something from them they've e-mailed me asking for 
proof of ownership of the card - they either want a fax, or for me to 
e-mail a scanned image of my credit card.

When I ask them they say that their bank is requiring this to combat fraud.

I'd really like to know which bank is insisting that customers send 
credit card info over e-mail - even if it is somewhat obfuscated.
