I'm probably earning myself a whoosh parrot, but where on the receipt does it print the PIN? Why would it, that would be an incredibly stupid thing to do?

Its easy.

Waiter hands you machine - 'type your pin in please'.

You type, hand it back.

Oh no, sorry sir, I've done that wrong, let me void it for you.

Start again, goes through fine. Waiter now has your pin number and card details.




When he handed it to you the first time, it was still on the enter amount screen.
I'd guess thats a transaction for £17.40, and the customers pin number is 4161.

Easy, peasy.

And if it was you, and I'd not told you that, you'd think nothing of it would you.

I had one excellent story recounted to me by a mate (who I have NO reason to question).

A birthday celebration meal. About 30 Russian oligarchs. The starters alone - some kind of albino caviar - came to £28,000. Per head.

Nice idea, wrong in execution. That's not the pin

But in answer to that other guys question of how - it demonstrates just how easily it could be done, yes?

Forget the pin swindle, what about the albino caviar marketing opportunity?

Cavaiar, spot of bleach, what could possibly go wrong?

Who's in?

I lol'd that OP posted his pin number. 4161.
My friend posted a picture on facebook just like OP's and I got his pin number too. Loool.
