It would also help if cashiers would do their jobs. I wrote "check photo ID" on the back of my cards and only one in ten actually ask to see photo ID.
Same here and if the amount is under $500 the police won't even take a report even if you know who is doing it. Someone copied our number off our card when we used it in a restaurant and then used it at a spa for themselves and their daughter. They charged $10 less than the limit for what the police will investigate big shocker. They did not have the card or Id that matched and were not even the same race. My husband went to the spa and got pictures of the people from their security camera and identified the server and the police would do nothing. Really made us angry. They said that it costs too much to prosecute for any amount under $500.
