Ahhh, I see. My mistake. I agree, I wish the US would go to a more secure CC system. Even having a PIN code with a CC would be a huge improvement, but nope. Let's just have the type of card where if you get hold of someone else's card, you can just buy whatever the fuck you want until they block it.
Retarded system.

Cheers man, no mistake. We just use the same names for different stuff, my mistake for not being clear. Our CC's up here are all chipped now. So, you need to use a pin with them as well. Apparently you guys should start seeing chipped cards though it might take a few more years. I guess it all depends on how bad the fraud gets down there. There was a really big push up here when fraud hit 15% on the old cards and they went from a 5 year switch over to 3 years.
It'll be nice, really nice.
Yeah, tell me about it. I've twice had to cancel cards due to weird-ass charges. I was never liable for them, fortunately, but it's still fucking stupid that a card registered to a person in Oklahoma, can be used to buy fucking PIZZA in New Jersey...
(Papa John's too, the moron. At least get some GOOD pizza, asshole!)
