Just what we need. Smarter criminals. Educate someone with larceny in his heart, and you get a smarter criminal.

This has larger ramifications than just a scam in a moderate-sized city or buying "stuff". Obama's campaigns had a LARGE number of donations made by prepaid debit cards. The possibilities of having a device to steal credit card and debit card numbers and re-emboss new numbers on authentic cards (see No. 5) are endless.

I went from all cash to all credit when I got my airline mileage credit card a few years ago. Just last month we went back to all cash, except for stuff like rental cars. We have already seen a serious impact to our spending - in the good way. :)

Never lay your credit or debit card on a tray for a waiter to take with him to a cash register. It may not be fool proof but why make it easy for criminals?

This is why restaurants bring the portable cc scanner to your table in many countries.
