Koho for 5 years. Very happy and satisfied using it for dodgy/questionable (My definition are sites who doesn't offer paypal) websites here and abroad. They give a physical (never used or activate) card by mail and virtual card(VC) online using mastercard. Advantage:
  * Lock the card. Once transaction is done, lock it so even if they know the 4 digit security code, no one can use the VC.
  * conveniently replace VC online anytime tied to your account.

Since it's a prepaid credit card:
  * money security side effect is even if someone uses your card and your balance is $10, that's all they can use up until you purposely topped it up again.  
  * no interest fees.
