You would think ...I remember hearing that as well.<br /><br />You would think that you would see a match stick, or toilet paper in the slot, and not put the card in.<br /><br />The biggest problem, even with a stopped card, is that when you make a purchase for less than about R100 it does not communicate with the bank, the transaction just goes straight through. I don't know how they eventually find a card and cut it up if a person does steel a card, and just makes R50 purchases.<br /><br />A few weeks ago I bought an iPod Hi-Fi, and the bank phones me, to make sure it was me spending all the money, but with small purchases they wouldn't pick it up and investigate.<br /><br />Anyway, I cancel the card, the guy on the phone read out my statement to me, and all the calls are recorded, so I don't think I will have a problem.Jonathan Peelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16613554637591164195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8165468339128783112.post-8349311845470022362006-10-12T15:11:00.000+02:002006-10-12T15:11:00.000+02:00hmmn .. good call on cancelling the card
I know t...hmmn .. good call on cancelling the card<br /><br />I know there was an evil scam around a while back with dude jamming small wads of toilet paper or matches in the card slot, then when victim #1 arrives, his card goes in but not all the way and seems to have been swallowed, client leaves and then eeyvil criminal pulls out match/tissue wad and the card comes out with it.<br /><br />hopefully the atm is just on crack and not being nefariously repurposedCarl Spieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11438979616741416677noreply@blogger.com
