Chip Technology Warning!!!

My friend took his family out to dinner and paid

his bill, gave credit card to server.  All OK.

Went to use card next day, declined.  He looked 

at card, Chip was GONE!!!  It was replaced with a 

sticker that looked like a Chip!!!  He just peeled off.  

Lesson here: The Road to HELL is always paved with the best of

intentions.  Murphy is alive and well; whatever can go wrong

will go wrong.  The more variables for fraud prevention

in place also increases the amount of problems made possible.

Re: Chip Technology Warning!!!

Isn't that proof that the server tampered with his card?

I'd slap the server across the face with a glove.

Re: Chip Technology Warning!!!

This might just be a simple case of an employee committing fraud.

Might be, but not necessarily. Server might have just swiped the card, and the chip could have been stolen before server ever even held it.

I don't think the chip can just "fall" out/off. It's not stuck on the outside of the card, at least mine aren't.

Can we move to chip and pin yet?

Re: Chip Technology Warning!!!

Looking at my cards it does seem possible that the chip could be removed...however it looks like it would be difficult to do quickly without destroying the chip or card in the process.

Anyone have a unused EMV card they would be willing to experiment with...for the sake of science of course.
