my friend refuses to buy anything online just in case someone steals her entire identity but expects me to do it for her aibu to say no?

[DaenerysTargaryen]

She seems to think that its extremely dangerous to put anything about yourself online, especially bank card details. Fair enough.

The thing is she keeps asking me to get her stuff from eBay, Amazon and various other places and I'm starting to get annoyed. I buy from Amazon a lot so I'm not worried about purchasing online myself (as long as it's an established/safe community) but aibu to think she's being quite cheeky?

Its a faff

Tell her to get decent anti-virus and do it herself.

Community? Damn auto correct, I meant company.

YANBU

I hate people like this.

YANBU.

The next time she asks you, tell her you will help her set up an account.

It's really fucking annoying.

YANBU - seems so obvious that I can't even explain why not.

if she's got decent spyware she'll be fine.

If shes that worried why doesn't she care that you'll have your identity stolen? cheeky mare should get knotted.

She definitely wont do it herself, she thinks it 'very dangerous'

I suppose I'm quite pissed off at the fact that she doesn't mind putting me in 'danger'

Email her and say "Hi I'm the new DaenerysTargaryen. I stole the identity of the real DaenerysTargaryen while she was placing an order for you."

My mum does this to me!! It makes me laugh as she is so naive but I do it all the same.

Maybe I would be more offended if it was a friend?

YANBU, she should set up her own account just to see how protected it actually is. Plus no harm in learning how to do it herself.

Yanbu she is being cheeky.

crumpety

Although I doubt she even has an email addy, if she does I certainly don't know it!

Don't do it. She's trying to turn you into her administrative assistant. You'll get tons of faff for no good reason.

If she's really that paranoid she should only shop in person using cash.

Oh, this kind of thing really winds me up. MIL has now accepted that you can check in for flights online... but has an irrational fear of using an iphone to do so. So she made DH and SIL go all the way home to check in from an actual computer and then they went all the way back into Central London for dinner. The a) paranoia and b) complete unwillingness to actually learn about things is insane.

YANBU. And I'd say to her, "Sorry, you think it's dangerous so not sure why you think it's okay for me to do it."

Tell her to not expect YOU to do something she isn't prepared to do herself.

She is cheeky!!!

I'll do it for her.

The are more than welcome to steal my identity, I don't want it!

Gosh this is annoying. My father does this. Terrified of having his bank details/identity stolen but nearly every week he wants me to put my credit card details into his websites.
Cheeky bugger!

She is just lazy. Dont be a mug.

Yes she is using you. She is lazy and daft.

Perhaps you could charge a percentage to cover your costs.

Say it is danger money

Have you asked her why, if it's so risky, she wants you to do it?

Tell her you can't do it anymore, that your identity has been stolen!

My Mum does this and it drives me crazy!

Your friend is being daft and rude.

Do those pre-paid Visa cards work online? They sound an excellent solution for the overly paranoid.

YANBU.... She's just using your credit card. That's call 'poncing'.

Tell her that you've come round to her way of thinking and agree with her. Therefore you are no longer buying online.
