Please tell me, how many times have you had someone compare the last 4 digits of your debit card (run as debit with pin) vs. what prints out on the receipt? It just doesn't happen.

I think our boy Andrew here is worried that you've stumbled onto his secret sauce.
I've had it happen a few times.. Rarely but if that store throws a fit and calls police you'd have a LOT of explaining to do.

An encoder and an embosser are usually in the arsenal of credit card thieves.. Just too risky in my opinion.
