Can a customer transfer me my payment via credit card?

It might seem unusual, but where I live, credit cards are mostly used for direct transactions, either in person or online, rather than for sending money to individuals.

Is this approach potentially risky? The customer mentioned it’s to simplify an international payment from the US to Canada.

They seem trustworthy, but I’m always cautious about these things. It’s important to be careful these days.

Hello, Verify the Payment Method: Confirm whether using a credit card for this kind of transaction is typical for international payments. Look into it or ask your bank if this practice is common and secure.

Hey Alisha, Use Secure Payment Services: Opt for reputable payment platforms like PayPal, which offer enhanced security for international money transfers.

Hello, Contact Your Bank: Discuss with your bank the risks and security concerns of using a credit card for sending money. They can offer advice and help ensure your transactions are safe.

Hello, Monitor Transactions: Regularly review your credit card statements for any unusual activity. Report any suspicious transactions to your bank right away.
