Bang on cue. Tesco's Self Service Tills Fraud Risk.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/5406742.stm
They've only just discovered (as someone who has used these tills regularly for the past 18 months will tell you) when you use a credit card they don't ask for any sort of validation let alone a pin number. You just swipe (ahem) and go. So why has the self appointed champion of consumer rights taken so long to spot this glaring security lapse? Which? readers shop in Waitrose, so they wouldn't know that a "Tesco" is, let alone that they have self service tills.
But now Which? are on the case we can rest easy in bed, knowing that our stolen credit cards can't be used for buying bog rolls, Rizlas and packets of Monster Munch in Tescos anymore.
