> Say things are wildly successful and people come to expect that merchants will be taking a pic of your credit card with their phone. So you easily hand over your card to some random person to take a pic of it - assuming they are using Card.io.
When you're sitting in a restaurant and hand over your credit card, the waiter is now in total posssesion of it.
They could take a picture of it.
They could go to their laptop and make purchases from China.
They could run out the backdoor and never return it.
Handing over your credit card is a common enough thing, because you are protected from fraud by the credit card companies policies---not by your own regard for if the person you're giving your card is trust worthy or not.
- marcamillion 15y agoThat may be true, just saying....it could provide another avenue of fraud if the best case scenario does play itself out. Not saying other avenues of fraud don't exist or cardholders aren't as vulnerable without it. Just stating what I think will likely be a side-effect, that these guys should at least pay attention to.
