To me, credit cards are by FAR the safest way to pay for anything! Even cash, as I have known people to be pick pocketed or robbed of thier cash.
My CC got hit for approx $800 last month. Seems to happen once every few years. The bank sent a text to verify a purchase which turned out to be fraudulent. The reversed the bogus charges that day and I got a new card sent out.
