Steve Topletz, software developer for Torrify and creator of the free Torpark anonymizing browser, is an unlinQ client. He says VirtuCard is "the only choice" for those who want both peace of mind and convenience when making purchases online. When used together, Torpark disguises your true location and personal identity, while VirtuCard protects your financial identity. Steve comments, "There's nothing satisfying about surfing the web while wondering who may be watching, and then being forced to disclose your credit card information because you want to buy something. The combination of Torpark and VirtuCard finally gives a convenient solution to those torn between wanting to do business online and wanting to be safe."
VirtuCard is a prepaid virtual credit card used via one of the two largest global card systems. Apart from existing only in the electronic world, VirtuCards are exactly the same as real credit cards, except the customer has no risk of identity theft. When customers receive their VirtuCard they get not only their new credit card number and account information, but also a new alias, so they don't have to disclose their real name to inquisitive merchants.
Unlike gift cards and other prepaid options, VirtuCard owners may add or subtract to their card balance. Owners can even transfer balances from one VirtuCard to another. In dedication to the security and privacy of its customers, unlinQ proudly accepts anonymous payments for funding the VirtuCards. So whether your are paying your secret cable bills online or ordering an anonymous late-night pizza over the phone, your identity is safe when using unlinQ's VirtuCard.
