Hi,
Last night I went to pay for my taxi ride using the contactless payment reader the taxi driver had. It was a Sumup card reader. Transaction went through fine and it popped up on my phone saying transaction completed successfully. A minute later the taxi driver showed me his reader saying the payment was declined.
I checked again and it was showing as completed successfully. So I asked him for a print out of the declined payment which he couldn't give me. He asked for cash but I wouldn't give it to him unless he could give produce a declined payment receipt as the transaction had completed successfully. I also checked the bank app and it was showing up in my recent transactions. I gave him my details and took his details too.
Declined payments are payments that haven't been processed for various reasons but this payment did go through successfully? The app he showed me on his phone showing the declined payment could be any simple app written by a junior programmer. Pressing on the declined payment details button only said "cannot connect, please try again". Very simple app to fool the customer. Has this happened to anyone?
