Chip and Pin - the answer to the card cloning problem. Not.

[William "Bill" Kisse]

I was in the point of sale sales and installation business for over 20 years and this is certainly not new news.

The credit card companies have been happy to deal with fraudulent charges then pass the costs on to we consumers.

Shameful behavior.
