| I currently have an ongoing dispute over a credit card that was never even authorised (as I only used it for the 0% offer to transfer a balance around) and yet it still got payments made on it in the States to a mail order company that only ships in the states!
How they ever managed to get it through the checks amazes me as the card had never been activated and they weren't send to the registered address for the card either.
The amount is minimal (£12) but luckily I spotted it before the "big one".
Jools - the motion you describe is created by the reader and is called a "jigger" which is designed to stop the theives installing the "Lebanese Loop" and other devices which will hold your card and then be retrieved at a later point. It's one of a new range of security measures to stop card theft at the terminals. |
