In Reply to: Credit card skimming posted by gondon on Wednesday, 17. September 2008 at 17:22 Bali Time:
I paid the hotel bill with my card & was told when arriving back in Australia that there was some strong evidence that my card had been copied.
I told them it was a load of rubbish & asked them to provide me with the evidence which they couldn't. I finally relented after the bank hounded me for weeks & got a new card that had the microchip.
One person told me that when I used it in Bali it sent up a red flag & there was no actual evidence,the Banks advise cards without microchips to be replaced as a precaution.
