I give my credit card info to restaurants who deliver to me without thinking about it, but what’s to stop someone from stealing that info?

Question

Obviously I can dispute charges, but is there any other failsafes that stop this? It just seems so odd that I casually give my CC number over the phone, often including the 3 numbers on the back.

Waiters double swiping cards is a common way to get your card info stolen. Along with retail cashier’s.

Anytime you give your card to someone else there’s the chance to get it stolen.
