For Sale: Fake POS Devices

For Sale: Fake POS Devices

My Thoughts
I have always been suspicious of chip and pin.


The banks will always say it is a more secure way of handling transactions. A chip and pin unit reads a card and relays your pin, albeit encrypted when it leaves the POS device.
I guess if you type your pin incorrectly you won’t get the pin fail but the same transaction error devised by the unscrupulous.
All this box needs to do is capture card information so it can be cloned and the all important PIN.

I am sure my local main brand shops in Yeovil are all squeaky clean.
