The whole situation in the US is silly. Some background: when a major iOS version comes out, thanks to Apple not allowing downgrades (grrrrr...), my company buys a new set of test devices for each major iOS version. When iOS 9 came out, I went to Walmart with my manager's company credit card to get some iPods (cheapest iOS test devices). The clerk asked me what I wanted and I said "5 iPods please". I would be suspicious if anyone asked for that many iDevices. When they realized they only had 3 iPods, I said I'd take those. When I went to check out, I asked them to break up the transactions into < $500 chunks so as to not cause additional oversight, they obliged. This was the first time I had ever used a chip-enabled card. It was obvious to the cashier, I was fumbling around with the card and had to ask how to operate it. Finally, after I bought three iPods in two transactions with a card I had obviously never used before, with the merchandise in a bag in hand, they ask for the credit card and my ID to verify the name. Busted, I thought! But no, after explaining that I was buying the devices on behalf of my boss (with no proof of this) they let me go on my merry way. I was flabbergasted. TLDR: If you have a stolen credit card and want to use it to buy expensive electronics to fence, go to the Electronics department at the West Lafayette Walmart. Chip and signature cards offer no improvement in security, even when faced with at least five big red flags that indicate fraud.
