Thieves - select your own security checks!

Is this just me, or is this really giving you the option to personally exclude further fraud checks, especially implemented for anyone using a stolen card!!!!!!!

    I don't understand. For a warning it's not very clear who/which shop it's a warning about.

    It's just a general warning, I would imagine the company uses some generic checkout system. I just cannot believe they would give you the option to not have the transaction screened. It puts everyone at risk if anyone can use a credit card on their site and request less security.

    For reference, it is UK2.net.
    Thanks in advance,

    Maybe it means that if you click on that, they will ask for the 3 digit security code on the card and won't do any further checks. Did you try putting in some false details just to see what happened next?
