It is perfectly possible to do so.Wow, this is scary stuff. Can anybody from the retail industry shed any light on this? Is it possible to "Dip" in again after a transaction is made using the normal laser apparatus?? or was the shop in questions one a rigged Job???
I've used my card all over the canaries thinking it was secure and I dont think I ever kept a reciept. I just believed that if I just covered the pin everything would be fine. Better get checking my bank statement. Can the retailer run it through again and change the figure without you being present??It is perfectly possible to do so.
The retailer can put transactions thru as cardholder not present.
On the otherhand the terminal used by the OP could be rigged to store the PIN. This would be highly illegal of course. From that a new card could be made and used in other stores.
I am amazed the bank does not care. Which bank is it?
Yes.Can the retailer run it through again and change the figure without you being present??
Hi guys
I was away in Spain for a few days recently and paid for something on my laser card. This charge went through 3 days later - no problems.
However I just checked my account online and I see they have taken the money again today!. I am going to ring my bank tomorrow about this but i just want to see where I stand on this before I ring them. I have a feeling that there is probably nothing I can do about once it has gone through but would appreciate any advice.
It's not a huge amount of money but it's the principle of it that's getting me!
That is a common scam with hotels. For that reason I never settle in cash anywhere you have to give a CC deposit.A couple of months previous I booked a hotel on my credit card for my brother, at the end of his stay he paid in cash in full. A couple of weeks later my credit card was debited for the full sum of 680 euro.
