Complain to the merchant and call your CC issuer about the merchant. The merchant is too lazy to get the software updated in their machine. For my CC machine it was a simple download. Maine Doug I sometimes get receipts from using my debit card (admittedly not my credit card but still kinda sorta the same thing ?) that contain the entire number.

sometimes... but some slightly older machines that can not obfuscate the nr. and must be replaced. I had the problem with such a terminal 2 or 3 years ago when the rules came in effect and these glorified modems are ridiculously expensive considering what they are. and while a card nr is useless without expiration date, the expiration dates are usually printed on the receipts... pascal miami, fl 70 hatteras 53MY live helmcam @www.sandbarhopper.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Doug" <doug@theoldbank.net> To: <trawlers-and-trawlering@lists.samurai.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2008 9:49 PM Subject: T&T: Credit Card Receipts > Complain to the merchant and call your CC issuer about the merchant.

Here's a different spin. It almost sounds to me like employee theft. Consider this - fuel dock attendant processes your card and makes notes about you and your boat etc... later (days, weeks, months or years) he pockets a cash sale and then processes the phony charge on your card so the till balances. Swears you were there knows your boat name etc... Once upon a time I was a partner in a limo company and we had an employee do something similar - twist was that he tried to put it through on my credit card. He lost his job (perhaps he is pumping fuel in NC). Rip Tyler m/v Severn Exposure Pearson True North 38

I am thinking of getting one of these USB TV adapters such as the Pinnacle PCTV HD Pro USB. I can plug this into the USB port on my notebook and watch the local stations I hope. You can also plug a cable into it for cable TV. Does anyone have any experience with one of these devices and will it do what I want?

If someone is manually imprinting your card, make SURE that they don't do it twice. I had someone do this to me in a restaurant a long time ago. Actually imprinted the card three times on three different receipts, then forged my signature on two of them. I assume he then traded them for cash in the till. AMEX credited me back immediately for the two fakes. Another scam... you can buy a card reader that plugs into your computer pretty cheap. Some thieves are working in retail establishments, and keep their laptop and the duplicate scanner right next to or under the register. They swipe your card at the legitimate terminal, then quickly on their own, gaining access to ALL your card information. No big deal to write down the security code as well at the same time. Best advice is to WATCH your card at all times it's not in your pocket.
