Credit Cards

The latest credit scam warning!

Keep a watch out for people standing near you at
retail stores, restaurants, grocery stores, etc., who
have a cell phone in hand.

With the new camera cell phones, they can take a
picture of your credit card, which gives them your
name, number, and expiration date. Identification
theft is one of the fastest growing scams today, and
this is just another example of the means that are
being used. So... be aware of your surroundings

They would also need your billing address and the code at the back of card to order in your name.

Of course the easiest way to gain access to credit card numbers, 3 digit security codes and home billing address is to work with the retail public (now where is that whistling emoticon?)
Scary thought aint it?
Well no, not really. As a holder of a credit card you are insured against fruad (unless you have knowingly lost your card an not reported it). If your&#39;e scammed for a few grand then the most you will usally have to pay is £50-100 (talking about most UK credit cards.)
Of course debit cards are a different matter unless you pay for the insurance as an extra.

Right. That&#39;s why we print the card infomation on the main receipt now (Tesco&#39;s, U.K.) - so that people dont leave the payment slip behind when they go off in a hurry. <_<

IF anyone works in retail, do YOU check the numbers? I&#39;ve personally had 4 cards come through my till in the last month where the numbers on the "Sign below" slip didn&#39;t match those on the front of the card. Most people don&#39;t bother to check, which is how they get away with it. Me? Well, of coursee im gonna check. I get 25 quid for every "dodgy" card i turn in. >8)

(the girl on the csd gets 25 quid for every card i turn in as well. damnit, she must be rolling in cash&#33;)
