Has anyone bought anything from discoo.com, in the UK, before?

Question

I tried to buy a jacket from an online retailer called discoo.com, using my credit card. The next day I received an email stating that the transaction didn't go through, and could I please fax them a copy of my credit card. I was reluctant to do this, since they are in another country (I am in the US), so I wrote them an email asking for some alternate method of resolving the issue. They responded saying that, because it was my first order with them, they needed me to fax them my credit card so they could confirm that the order was being placed by the cardholder. This sounds fishy to me. Has anyone here dealt with this company before? Are they legit, or are my suspicions well founded?

They look OK.  The company has been registered since 2003 and all their accounts have been submitted up to date.  As they have the card number and everything else from your order, I can't see what else a dishonest company could gain from a photocopy of your card.

If you are still unhappy, phone your CC company and talk to them.
