Strange someone would have the wit to skim your cc number (obviously it doesn't require that much) and yet be dumb enough not to realise its a completely pointless exercise to use it in that manner.
Never underestimate people's stupidity I suppose.

The police told me that they swipe the cards through a machine next to the main card swipe thing,so that you won't realise, and it's like a data stick that holds thousands of numbers. The garage or whoever then sell the data stick on and the buyer uses the numbers as they wish.

I only use my debit card for ATM use, everything else goes on my Amex

bought a laptop from lenovo the other day, they messed up the order. Once I had laptop safely in hand I spoke with 7 different cust serv reps and their accounts department with no full resolution. After three weeksn I had enough so I called amex yesterday and disputed. Job done.

We had a light dinner in a Georgia restaurant last month, the bill was $68.85, I virtually always give a cash tip. I tipped the waiter (More then 20%), put a line through tip on the credit card voucher, then carried the $68.85 to the total. Just received the credit card bill, charge $88.85. I called the CC company they sent me a form & suggested I call the restaurant.
Manager went off to check the receipts, "oh! did you share a table & split the bill, $68.85 each" me "No did not share, we ate alone", him "oh! another couple paid at the same time, their bill was also $68.85." The waiter was supposed to add the $20 to the other bill".
Yea, right. Next day he had credited our account.
Lots of restaurants here in Sth Florida beach area, use a nice trick. Without asking they add 18 -20% tip on the bill. They then bring you a CC voucher with the charge including their tip, the tip line is blank, tourists & those not looking then give them a tip. Voila, now the cheeky bastards, have gotten a 40% tip.
