Restaurant Credit Card Fraud (”Skimming”)
PROBLEM: Credit card fraud is on the rise and the process known as “Skimming” has been an issue for many restaurants. At restaurants, your credit card physically leaves your hands, and that is the gateway leading to the fraud. Remember when you use to give your credit card to the cashier at the grocery/department store? Not any more you don’t. Because companies more and more are concerned with the privacy of their customer’s payment information and for good reason. So now companies make sure the credit card never leaves their customer’s hand and the cashier doesn’t have a chance to even see the card. See this article: Credit Card Fraud at Restaurants
