In most of the pubs round here is you want to "run a tab", you leave a credit card behind the bar. otherwise keep paying cash for each order. Do you get much fraud? Because they can copy down your card number and the "secret" three digit number off the back, and then put anything they like through. Andy |

Do you get much fraud? Not if they want to stay in business So which of the many pubs was it that copied the numbers down?
