Default Chip n Pin

Very true Jim. I suppose if the retailer does not handle the card, and relies on the PIN only for authorisation, then the retailers responsibility is removed when checking authorisation.

I have worked in a bank and also worked on trains. I used to thoroughly examine all cards - particularly on the trains as people knew that you were not "on line" to verify them.

I still captured a lot of stolen cards though. £50 reward at the time, too!

Every little helps
