I did read somewhere that the eftpos guys were told to fix it It depends - if I recall correctly, the merchant copy (which you are supposed to sign if you don't enter a PIN) has the full number, whereas the other copy doesn't. |

| 820465 | 2009-10-14 20:21:00 | I have records of over a 1000 card holders' names and numbers etc. These are from my customer's customers. Given the topic of this thread it's probably time I purged these details from my main computer in case it gets stolen. |

Unless you have a valid reason to be storing them - in which case, you should encrypt your drive. |

| 820467 | 2009-10-15 06:16:00 | Thanks guys. I reported it, they only do 24hr stolen or loss cards - I tried. I had to call back this morning. As for the receipts, I always burn them, some merchants show the whole number while some do not. I never told anyone of my c/c number. I never used it over the phone. I have really only used it a few times. Auckland shop and mailorder (internet) for a parallel import cellphone. Wellington where I am, at the shop for a jacket. Shell petrol and that was maybe it. Kiwibank you must use it once per quarter year to avoid yearly fees. I mainly use my BNZ GlobalPlus card. |

| 820469 | 2009-10-15 18:32:00 | Me, SWMBO and our friends visited ChCh three weeks ago, just for the w/e (cheap Grabbaseats). He bought a beanie at the flea market on the Sat morning with his card. Monday the card company called and asked whether he really wanted or did spend the $900 that the stall holder tried to put through on the day. It has been reported to the Police and i don't know if anything happened but :thumbs: for his bank. sarel |

| 820470 | 2009-10-15 20:55:00 | My old eftpos printed the lot. I've just looked at this one, (which I've only had for about 3 years & haven't bothered to look) & you're right, only a few numbers displayed.. That should teach me to open my eyes before my gob, probably won't tho. Sounds like it could have been a manual transaction somewhere. All the card details are transferred with a zip zap, flip flap or whatever it's called Unless you shop in Electronics Boutique. :annoyed: I bought something there and after swiping my card through the machine, while I was keying my PIN number, the assistant started to key my card details into her computer. When I objected, I was told it was a requirement from their Aussie owners that they record full C/C numbers for reconciliation at the end of the day. I snatched my card back and made her cancel the transaction. Since then I have only ever used cash in EB - and then only if I can't find the game elsewhere. I am fairly sure it is illegal, but have never been able to find anything concrete to confront EB with. |

Credit card numbers are useless without the security code at the back |
