with a thingie about the size of a pack of ciggies. Staff from the BCA bank spoke about it at a club meeting last year. It's a problem as some hotel and restaurant staff have them. You give them your card and before they put it through the electronic card machine they scan your card, which could be used in the USA tomorrow.
Their advice was to make sure you watched your card going through the machine. If they try to take to another room object.
And as Allen says if they use the old zip zap don't lose the copy. Same applies here to - you want to see them zip zap. If they take it away they can zap ( or zip) twice, so they have all your details.
