So you think your 'Chip & Pin' card is safe

Read this and then think again next time you stick your card in the machine. All that money the banks spent to prevent fraud and it can still happen.

Re: So you think your 'Chip & Pin' card is safe

It really doesn't matter which system they come up with there is always some one who will come up with something to get round it. What always amazes me is why do these people put their brains to good use instead of criminal actions, if they are that clever that they can bet these systems why don't they go straight and make an good and honest living

You have spent too much time around politicians

Re: So you think your 'Chip & Pin' card is safe

They need to iron out the simple things first for instance.. The Chip & Pin machines in stores. At the moment it is so simple to look at someone entering their Pin Number. They aren't very well covered. If they can't get the basics right then what chance have we hoping they'll get the other stuff right.

The person who stole my money didn't need a pin.He/She just presented a replacement card at the Building Society counter and was allowed to empty my account.

Perhaps we will get someone that knows all about everything coming on and telling us this wouldn't happen with LINUX!

Re: So you think your 'Chip & Pin' card is safe

I think i've only used chip and pin once - otherwise i go to the bank and take the money out and pay cash. Dont exactly like chip and pin because there is no way you can hide what numbers you press. At least at the bank i can hide it.

The Bank I use charge for withdrawels across the counter, if I use the cashmachine, no charge but if I need to draw more than the limit that a cash point allows, I'm charged an extra £3.00 for the pleasure of seeing the person behind the counter, thank goodness these days I'm skint, or I'd be paying out a fortune!

The same bank one time, (long ago), I was about 30p short of drawing a tenner from the cash machine, Ah, I thought I'll queue up and deposit this 50p, that is enough for me to draw a tenner!

Finally got to the counter, "sorry sir, minimum deposit is £10.00", my explaination that if I had £10, I wouldn't need what was left in the account, that, fell on on deaf and very bored ears.
