My wife has recently fallen for a scam where she was offered free stuff and she only had to pay shipping and handling. She gave her credit card info for the shipping/handling and over the next few weeks, she had multiple charges for which the bank didn't reverse because there was some fine print that she must have agreed to. I am trying to find something she can use and thought of PayPal. Many years ago, AMEX had a card that used a reader that I plugged into my computer. When I ordered something, it would generate a "one-time" card number for that transaction and the number could not be used for any subsequent charges. Unfortunately they quit offering the card.

Like getting a text asking if she authorizes the later charge.
