I really liked PayPal's solution for limiting risk when paying sites that didn't support PayPal. Their Virtual Debit Card product was great. I could provide whatever information I wanted, restrict the virtual card to exactly the amount of the transaction, and optionally allow it for recurring transactions. They were awesome, especially when purchasing from small companies with very little information about if they were legitimate or not.

PayPal if nice and all, but plenty of people fall for the common traps, like variations on the domain name which are phisher traps.

People here were generally better at avoiding scams, but that doesn't help the > 90% of the population who never check.

People do go to jail for missing payments on child support. Even if they lost their job and cannot make said payments.

Just to clarify, I was referring to alimony rather than child support.

But yes, I've seen men carted off for jail when unemployment was at its peak a few years ago and they couldn't pay.
