We have lined up a private guide for our trip to Iguazu Falls in February. It seems to be a very reputable company and they've even called me by phone.
http://www.discoverbrazil.com/ Just as I think everything is all lined up, I'm now concerned because they are asking for a photo copy of BOTH sides of our credit card as well as a photo copy of our passports. With so much identity theft, this just doeesn't sit right with me, but they say it is a requirement. They say it's for OUR protection??
I suggested using a secure site such as paypal but they're not going for it. What should we do?
EDITING: I just found this on their website....what does all this mean?
