Same wrote loads of cheques zero fraud used credit card less had £1,000 fraud and I am careful where I use it but it seemed a scimmer was used at a prominent shop. Wont name it.
Basically its one of those card readers that dont look any different from orig and works how it should but has hidden system.
If I remember there was a birmingham company raided and had litterally thousands of these. Even acted as proper company but was run by crooks.
As for wifi portable versions its well known been shown on numerious programs that with no more than laptop with software can scim the pin and card details of portable devices upto many yards away.
Do we want our local milkman coming with portable to pay our bill.
Nope give me a chequebook why CANT WE DECIDE how to pay.
Meddling in system again we was told chip and pin was safe is it hell. No doubt any replacement will be infinate more fraudalent especially if its electronic.
Banks should follow simple rule if man makes man can disasemble/work around it.
