That's easier to counter when you will be returning your money from bank, since you physically will be in another place. And of course you should always see you

That's easier to counter when you will be returning your money from bank, since you physically will be in another place. And of course you should always see your card when paying in restaurant, store etc, so nobody can copy it.
- thefreeman 12y agoMaybe it is different in the US then in other countries, but every restaurant I have ever been in the waitress has taken the credit card away inside of the check and come back with a receipt to sign. Even so, just because you can see your card doesn't mean someone cannot copy it. They could even have a modified device that automatically log all cards while also performing transactions. In such a scenario you would see nothing out of the ordinary.
- walshemj 12y agoer no that's a common way to clone cards which is why restaurants in the UK have hand held readers they bring to the table. Though I normally pay cash in restaurants I don't trust absolutely.
- newaccountfool 12y agoEven with handheld POS machines, those can still be modified to contain skimming equipment, everything has been done. Its crazy. If everyone went back to cash would save us all a lot of hassle.
