New way of picking your packet/wallet

I worked on NFC for about four years . They can't retrieve your PIN, and your CSC isn't visible to them (on UK cards). You'd need the CSC to buy anything online.

 

haha OK then

 

Not according to the article

'We doubted we'd be able to make purchases without the cardholder's name or CVV code, but we were wrong.
We ordered two items – one a £3,000 TV – from a mainstream online shop using "stolen" card details, combined with a false name and address. We've alerted the store involved.'

 

The shop better ask itself why its validation system is so sloppy, I'd think . The card provider would cancel any fraudulent transactions - they're normally on the ball.

 

Someone bought a phone with my name and address, a stolen card from someone else and a different delivery address. Security for telephone/internet sales is as sloppy as hell - the supplier wants the sale and most times the bank pick up the tab.

 

I'm not saying it's not possible, given the millions of card transactions every day. It's unlikely tho' that you'll end up out of pocket.

 

old school way was to use a hole punch....

 

Yep my card was some how cloned and the bank refunded everything about £600 , all over a weekend so even with my bank app didn't see the transactions till the next week.

 

They're pretty slick at recognising which transactions aren't kosher.

 

Apparently. http://metro.co.uk/2016/02/17/use-a...hieves-bumping-against-you-on-trains-5700472/
