Bitfinity fx - Is my Dad being scammed?

Credit/Debit Cards: A color copy of the front and back of the credit/debit card(s) used to fund your account. Please ensure that all details are clearly legible to enable prompt and accurate verification. For security purposes, you should cover the middle six digits on the front of the card and the 3-digit security code on the back of the card.

And even with these "security measures" that seems pretty insecure. It sounds like they'd be setting them up for another scam. See, the first 6 digits of a card are unique to issuers. which means that hypothetically there aren't that many digits to brute force the card. Plus, plenty are bound to make a mistake and not cover anything.
