    you have to watch people when you give them your card to swipe, the device to clone the card can be held in the palm of the hands

    It is for this reason why I don't use debit cards, only credit cards. There is better recourse with disputing credit card fraud and also the checks and balances involved with credit card. I've had to replace my cr card several times, but that was ok since no money actually left my bank account.

    Well was feeling good about my debit card up until today. But was kind of thinking more people here would know something about this type of fraud locally... Kind of feeling like the stupid GUY here who don't know he shouldn't be using this damned card considering that to add insult to injury they charge you like 11 bucks every time you use it

    I remembered this happened to a few people in the christmas season 1 or 2 years ago.

    I guess the practice has resurfaced. I think custom officers also uncovered similar equipment as shown in the youtube video at the cargo depeartment of the Sangster International Airport. This also happened a 1 or 2 years ago. It was in the papers and on the news.

    So the equipment is definitely here. The crooks always seem to come out of hiding right around the christmas season.

    Hope the bank can give a solution, explanation or catch the person who is messing with your account Jamaicakevkev.

    The credit card issue is also screwed up. Why the hell do they need my TRN number if I flash my ID and they can match me up with the ID? Some gas stations are doing this, recording information from IDs and so on. What type of foolishness this?

    So you can check your transactions with a debit card?
    Do you get an elink account when you open an account with lets say ncb or whoever...
