but if u think about it, a card-scanner is physical... true? i mean u do have to swipe it.
it's pretty much like stealing the card *physicaly* and copying the # down really really fast. EITHER WAY, yes sorry i should have been more clearer. |
well its much easier to steal cc #s. Ive worked in retail before..and at small stores, all you need is the credit card signature slips..copy cc # expiry date and name on the cc(with a quick glance at the signature) and you're on your way 
Ive never done it before, but during those long days there my mind just runs wild and I came up with it hehe

Because credit card companies keep track of all your purchases, they know what your spending range is, and how often you purchase items. So if one day all of a sudden there is this huge amount being charged to your account, the transaction won't go through. They automatically flag "suspicious" purchases. The only way the transaction will go through is if the card owner calls and informs them that it is a legit purchase. So unless the theif is smart enough to guess your spending range he/she will be shit out of luck. |
yep, its a security feature implemented by cc companies to deter big losses. Because usually a person uses a stolen credit card to buy a big item(like electronics) and dispose of the card so it wont get tranced. Unfortunately, cc thieves are now getting a BUNCH of credit card #s and committing smaller charges so it wont be flagged. Use them twice and then dump the numbers
